<p>owch geez...that's some scary stuff.</p>
<p>Condolences, guys - better to come!</p>
<p>whats Rice's range then?</p>
<p>I live in PA. Anyone else in the north east get their letters yet?</p>
<p>runner, have you gotten your mail yet?</p>
<p>i don't get it until 3</p>
<p>just got mine in the mail. I'm in chicago. I got in.</p>
<p>no merit aid though... looks like Yale it is</p>
<p>I'm in southern Cali and I got waitlisted. I was originally deferred from ID. I'm actually happy because I was so afraid of getting rejected since I didn't send a letter (too afraid to....) and I didn't too as well as I could have first semester. Can I send in third quarter grades though? Anyone know?</p>
<p>I'm sure it can't hurt. they wanna know that you're still interested in rice</p>
<p>My S got a packet today in Ohio...no scholarship info was in it, does that mean he didn't get any? I'm not sure how this works..thanks for any info...</p>
<p>Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>I'm from Albuquerque, NM so I should get it today---man, if you guys with those stats got rejected, I am most definitely getting one.</p>
<p>from Maryland, got the acceptance letter today.</p>
<p>decision: Waitlisted</p>
<p>1320/740/700/680
3.9uw, 4.5w</p>
<p>i'm actually kinda happy because the turnout of the rice waiting list is decent.</p>
<p>hey-- just got my acceptance letter in NJ-- soo excited!</p>
<p>I live in Minnesota and I just got my letter today - accepted! With $12,000 in merit aid per year, which is awesome...I really wasn't expecting it. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting.</p>
<p>accepted in CT today. very very happy, though deciding Dartmouth or Rice will be incredibly tough, so not sure if I'm going or not.</p>
<p>I got in! So if anybody else is from PA, the mail arrived here today.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone else.</p>
<p>Just got my acceptance today in Oklahoma. I got some very generous financial aid too. I ended up with $1800 in work study and $2600 for the family contribution, with the rest of the cost being covered in grants. My EFC was around $1200 in case anybody's wondering.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm so absurdly happy right now about getting in. I'm glad to be finally through with this whole college admissions mess.</p>
<p>I got in too!

<p>essays- terrible. the common app one was good. but the rice suppliment was god aweful. i threw it together in an hour. it was not creative, not original, and not interesting....probably what killed me. i probably shouldnt have rushed it, but i god tired of college apps....
interestingly, the only reach school that have gotten into is the one most selective school i applied to, according to PR, which happened to be my #1 choice. i guess my interest showed as well as my lack of interest in rice even though it was my second choice.... oh well, it only makes it easier for me to decide where to go. i probably wont send in the waitlist card, but i know they accept a lot off the waitlist, but how many do they usually waitlist, anyone know? otherwise i guess no owl for me, just 100% pure sagehen!</p>
