Waitlisted by Rice and WUSTL:(( I wonder if there is anything wrong with my CommonApp… Also maybe it’s because I messed up my first semester grade. Oh well, waiting for CMU right now:)
When will acceptance packets be sent out?
@classical774 yeah man Idk how much time either, I am thinking at least an entire 30 seconds.
UT cs ranks much higher than rice. Shall I give up this opportunity and choose Rice instead? It is a hard dec
i have already received my acceptance package, it’s really plain
@wendyez which has the Best starting salaries. I’m going to college not for reputation but great training and great starting salary. I could care less about reputation, it won’t pay my bills after I graduate.
Does rice offer laptop grants to students?
Son didn’t do the box.
Life/finals got in the way and he forgot-
He was accepted RD with generous scholarship-
For what it’s worth…future applicants–
Be kind to others-
Be generous in whatever way you can (there are so many) work a paid job a some point in high school, mentor someone off the record and push yourself for real reflection in your essays…
Rice admitted an exceptionally selective class this year - 2,266 out of 20,898. For those who were admitted either ED or RD, congratulations! For those wait listed, don’t lose hope. There’s likely to be some movement there.
When do waitlist decisions come out?
Waitlist decisions don’t come out at a given time. If there is room in the Class of 2022, then applicants selected from the waitlist may be contacted at any point.
if you don’t mind me asking, what do you think were the weaknesses in the application that could have possibly contributed to the rejection? because from what you have listed, it seems like a really good application
I think a big part of the process is how you have shown interest. I cannot remember exactly, but there was a section that required you to list how you had shown interest in the University. If you haven’t visited and can, go. Reach out to current students, go to events near you, seek out alumni, etc. Good luck!
