Hello everyone, I am an international student applying to Rice, I absolutely love the school. I have qualifying stats but knows they guarantee nothing. Recently my research paper was finalized for a spot to publish on an international journal, how should I update this status into my application? Would e-mails work? If I were to write an e-mail and also convey my great interest for the school would the admission office be “annoyed?”
I am glad to see Rice rising up to compete with ivy leagues, but it also increased the difficulty to get in, I would love some advice on how to update achievements and to write a letter of interest. Good luck for everyone still applying!
An email should be fine. You should probably also include an abstract and a link to where you’ll be published. They probably wouldn’t be annoyed (but I have no way of knowing).
