<p>Great credentials! I wish you the best at Chicago. You definitely deserved admission.</p>
<p>“Played Cross Country”</p>
<p>I just had to respond when I read this (being a runner and all).</p>
<p>Are you a runner yourself? If so, what team were you in? Varsity?</p>
<p>Yeah I’m a runner.
Track is my specialty but I’ve done cross country since middle school.
I’m a sophomore but I’ve been on varsity both years & i was this year’s XC captain.</p>
<p>@DuaneReade: I think livegreen4earth is just curious about the stats of students who were accepted.</p>
<p>@livegreen4earth: You got to keep in mind that admissions to college is a crapshoot. Unfortunately, the people who most want to go to a certain school do not get in. Even valedictorians get rejected at Rice and all the other top 30 schools. In this case, these people move on- there is no point worrying why you didn’t get in. I suggest finding, if you haven’t already, a few more schools that fit you well and that you feel you will get into and apply to them (many schools extended their application deadlines). You can keep the option to transfer open, but that means you will have to do very well 1st semester (which can be very tough with all the transitioning and adjustments taking place). I suggest you come to peace with the decision, move on and find a good fit, and then consider transferring in the fall if you find yourself unhappy at the university you choose to attend.</p>
<p>
Yeah…I second that too…hmmmmm…</p>
<p>livegreen, it seems like you’re just looking for reasons to post your stats.</p>
<p>Okay, sorry for not replying in such a long time. Anyway, in this thread I was only asking for people’s statistics for those who were admitted to Rice University. I didn’t say I was “admitted” just curious about how different those who were admitted to Rice was from me. I guess I may have implied I was admitted but I didn’t intend for this to happen. Sorry for the confusion and yes, I will try to move on but I will definitely study my butt off my first year of college and then try the transfer option.</p>
<p>it wasnt “implied”. he told you congratulations and you didnt say “oh i didnt get in” you just went with it. Unfortunately not enough people actually posted on the results thread so im not sure where you could get more stats other than the rice website.</p>
