<p>I thought I would make this thread specially for ED applicants to Rice. Feel free to share any thoughts before the "big day" that's coming up in less than a month. Also, please post your AI and the school that you are applying to and any other stats you want to. (You can calculate your AI here: <a href="http://www.collegeconfidential.com/academic_index.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeconfidential.com/academic_index.htm&lt;/a&gt;). </p>

<p>collegekid88, what are your SAT scores and major for Rice</p>

7

<p>my SAT score is a 1450.....in terms of major....does what you choose on that question that asks about your possible academic interests affect your chances of admission? I chose biology, chemistry, physics, and pre-med...and some other subjects from the humanities school</p>

8

<p>utop123...are you doing ED to Rice too?</p>

9

<p>To certain extent. Take the extremes. You wouldn't want the entire 2009 class majoring in pre-med, would you?</p>

<p>at 1450 you have good ed shot.</p>

10

<p>the exact choices i picked were: cell biology and biochemistry, chemistry, ecology and evolutionary biology, physics, pre-med, asian studies, and chinese........would you think thats ok?</p>

11

<p>yes, i am international student doing ED Rice. my majors were mechanical engineering, biomedical, and biochem</p>

12

<p>and how important are SAT 2's. Simba and Collegekid88 what are your SAT 2 scores</p>

13

<p>So what makes Rice your first choice school?</p>

<p>For me personally...the price is amazing for the high-quality education that you're getting. the campus is easily one of the most gorgeous in the nation. i love the small size. houston is a pretty nice city overall. the residential college system and honor code are totally unique.</p>

14

<p>Only less than 15 days to go! Those "Admission Status Updated" e-mails have been driving me insane. Is anyone just as nervous/excited as I am?!?</p>

15

<p>about less than 12 days to go! isn't anyone nervous/excited??</p>

16

<p>what happened to all the ED applicants?</p>

17

<p>S applied ED, AI 203, doesn't have much of a chance. School of engineering. It was his first choice, tho; he kind of blew the writing portion of the SAT II. From Texas. He's got good ECs if that is any help. Wonder if the emails will come out on the 13th, should be the day they mail the packets, right?</p>

18

<p>im really hoping that they email on the 10th...the wait has been driving me insane</p>

19

<p>anybody applin' early from cali?</p>

<p>How are you guys feeling right now? Are you mostly expecting much, still half and half, or a miracle?</p>
