There is a scholarship letter below the decision letter if you received one. It also is included in your award information on ESTHER.
@rileyiatkinson Okay. I thought I had pressed something by mistake. You saved me from an embarrassing e-mail to the financial aid office. 
Did anybody else get the Rice Tuition Grant? It’s included in my financial aid package but I couldn’t find anything else about it so I want to make sure it’s legit haha
Our son’s merit aid is in Esther-

How do I find out which school I got into? I chose the school of social sciences as my top choice but I couldnt find it anywhere in the admission letter
Waitlisted… but still grateful as I got rejected from UCSD
I attended Vision2022 and was excited to attend, but actually surprised as I have an UW gpa of 91 (my school doesn’t do out of 4 RIP) but I do the full IB diploma so I guess my gpa wasn’t a major factor.
But then I also had a SAT of 1370 and ACT of 28 sooo…
I guess you can never tell with colleges, Fingers crossed.
From what I understand, students are accepted into Rice - not a particular school (except for School of Architecture and Shepherd School of Music, which have a different admission requirements). Students don’t have to declare their major until end of sophomore year. I think Rice asks about which school/schools you are applying to in order to evaluate potential in and match to the school (related ECs, grades/scores in related classes, etc). For example, a student applying to the School of Humanities would probably be evaluated differently than a student applying to the School of Engineering. But once a student is accepted, they can take classes in any school they want (except for possibly Arch and Music - not sure about that).
DD waitlisted. ACT 36, SAT 1570, talented artist, UW GPA 4.20 at very competitive private school.
