<p>Dear d4r7h3v1l, </p>
<p>After reading your application for admission, the first reader was so excited she passed it on to
me to read. You have done a wonderful job of presenting yourself to us, and I want to thank you
for your outstanding effort. </p>
<p>Your application gives us the sense of a student who will be academically successful and who
will contribute fully to campus life. You could be a leader, a researcher, a loyal teammate, a
volunteer, a mentor, and a great roommate. The possibilities are endless. With your unique point
of view and life experiences, I could envision you sparking a lively intellectual discussion and
contributing to the traditions in your residential college. You have achieved at a high level so far
in school, and Ibelieve you would thrive at Rice. </p>
<p>While the admission committee won't meet to make final decisions until the end of March, Ifeel
you would be a strong match for Rice. Based on your application, it is likely that you will be
successful in gaining admission to the university. </p>
<p>I hope you will save one ofthe following dates for visiting Rice during Owl Days: April 7, 14, or
21, with each program beginning on Monday with morning class visits and midday information
sessions, continuing on to the following Tuesday morning. The owl Days program is especially
designed for admitted students to meet faculty and students, spend a night in a residential
college, and fully experience all that Rice has to offer. </p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in Rice! Ilook forward to sending you your admission decision letter
in late March. </p>
<p>Sincerely, </p>
<p>~~ </p>
<p>Keith Todd
Director of Admission </p>
