<p>has anyone gotten back a reply yet? if not, when will it arrive?</p>
<p>I read late March...</p>
<p>supposedly rice gave baylor the applications last week and it will take them about 2 weeks to review them thoroughly. Therefore, one might expect an invitation/rejection around the last week of march or first week of april. An admission officer from Rice told me this last Friday. good luck :)</p>
<p>why is rice so much later than every other program? I think to facilitate the process, applicants should submit the Rice/Baylor app with the regular Rice application, and then when students are admitted to Rice that application can be forwarded to Baylor, and everything would be much faster.</p>
<p>busy adcoms</p>
<p>i'm so nervous about the baylor/rice app...everytime someone mentions it.. i get all anxious haha. but yeah, i think the application said at the end of march</p>
<p>haha im not really that nervous
cuz if i dont get in
a 4 year regular undergraduate rice exp. will still be awesome</p>
<p>did anyone get notified as of date?</p>
<p>I heard the actual interviews for the finalists are on the Saturday of OWL weekend-- April 16th, i think...</p>
<p>correct, owlgirl.</p>
<p>Less than a month away!</p>
<p>Would there be anyway that I could call them and they could tell me before March 31? I have to make a decision on a scholarship then, and I dont know what to do...</p>
<p>if its coca-cola, then call rice and tell them about it. they'll understand and probably schedule another interview for you.</p>
<p>You ought to hear before the 31st anyway, I heard before then last year, and you would expect that when they say late March they don't mean April. Maybe call them on Monday the 28 if you haven't heard?</p>
<p>thanks guys- I hope that will work!</p>
