<p>I was notified of finalist status through my school about a week ago... Rice was my first choice through them as well.</p>
<p>Admitted.</p>

<p>Joey</p>
<p>Rice-Obsessive, seeing someone as great as you get denied is making me feel nervous.</p>
<p>I'm kind of afraid to go the mailbox right now.</p>
<p>hey, dont worry about it so much...with your stats you'll get into a great school...
s h i t happens, just gotta move on...me, i'm just glad i don't get any more decisions until april...i can relax and not stress until later march</p>
<p>congrats joey!</p>
<p>60-second-rule... boooooo</p>
<p>did ANYONE with lower stats get accepted as in 1300 range ?????
anyone at all ?</p>
<p>oh right, stats: 4.0 wieghted, 1500+ (i just hate writing my actual score... haha), 700+'s on all 3 SATIIs... uh. it seems my essay got me in everywhere i sent it.. so i think that was it.</p>
<p>congrats rani</p>
<p>thanks angel.. best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Dont worry, icymoon, I'm sure there was just something that Rice percieved being wrong with me as a candidate- I bet the rest of you will do great- it seems that stats arent as big of an issue at Rice as they are in other schools.</p>
<p>Accepted - Natural Sciences - IL</p>
<p>No scholarships though :(. I'm going to try for Rice-Baylor and see how that works out.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone. Especially wannabeariceowlgirl (has she heard yet?) and icymoon!!</p>
<p>Sorry, Rice-Obsessive ... you definitely deserved to get in. I'm sure there must have been some sort of mistake. Can you ask your guidance counselor to call to find out what happened?</p>
<p>Joey</p>
