<p>wow this is a first. usually when i get on this site there are so many posts on decisions and what not..guess i'm the first. i applied regular decision, i live in Houston, TX, and i was waitlisted. guess i'll just continue waiting!</p>
<p>H-town. Rejected.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. From Houston.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many students are usually waitlisted?</p>
<p>did you get your decision in the mail (RD)?</p>
<p>can you guys post your stats? Thanks.</p>
<p>Son deferred ED, now REJECTED RD. Waiting to hear from Notre Dame. Top 2% of his class.</p>
<p>1500, 780/800/770, #11/500, Good AP scores
Decent ECs: Soccer, a few leadership positions, some engineering related stuff, interesting travel experiences</p>
<p>Rice's RD admission rate:</p>

Number of regular decision applicants: 4,120
Number accepted: 708*** (17%)

<p>This rate is significantly lower than that of ED and ID, both of which are 28%; there are going many qualified applicants who will be rejected or waitlisted. I am not surprised, though it is heart-breaking to see some very good students bite the dust. I can only imagine that this year's admission's rate for RD was even tougher due to the record-high influx of applicants.</p>
<p>I live in H-Town and I just opened my package. I am in baby! Sorry for everyone who was wailisted/rejected.
If anyone is wondering, they sent it out yesterday by priority mail, so everyone should get an envelope by Saturday.
Good Luck to you all!</p>
<p>congrats gabe and my condolences to those who weren't accepted/waitlisted.</p>
<p>Ya know I noticed a lot of people call houston H-Town. We Alabamians (at least some folks in Birmingham) call Alabama A-town, which don't make much sense but I think it's kinda funny</p>
<p>accepted n suprised @ the fact it got here this early...was expecting an answer on fri! tripped out n excited!</p>
<p>congrats to all acceptees, n hang on others!
btw...i live in h-town</p>
<p>you guys got your decision already? Where - did you check online or did you receive a letter because i checked my app. status and it says that my application is being reviewed for regular action or some crap like that... anyone know?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone in the Houston area got theirs today.</p>
<p>Well, I applied ED and was deferred, now waitlisted. I've been waiting for three months, I 'spose I can wait for another 2-3. I sent in extra materials to update my file in February. I got straight-A's and made my Eagle Scout. Rank 21 out of 1151. I thought for sure I'd make the cut this time around. I just don't know what else I have to do for this school.... I guess it's time to update my file again.</p>
<p>Now there's nothing else for me to do but pay the $200 to UT and accept Plan II's offer.</p>
<p>The little one page rejection letter came in the mailbox today.</p>
<p>i cant wait to get, open, and read my first rejection letter...dartmouths rejection will be online...</p>
<p>Tomorrow, Tomorrow. I love you tomorrow. </p>
<p>You're Only a Day Away......</p>
<p>tookie... wht were ur sons stats like? and i presume ur from H-town too?</p>
<p>1360 SAT, obviously too low for Rice, varsity State champ sport, Eagle Scout, yes H-town. He's getting excited about going out of state now - accepted at his safety and waiting for another reach school. I think going out of state will be a good experience, so I think it will all work out for the best. </p>
<p>Good luck to all the RD's who are still waiting...</p>
