<p>So after feeling bummed about not getting a likely letter and being rejected from BOTH emory & richmond scholar programs, I was poking through the mail to find a likely letter from rice! totally unexpected since I had already given up on it.</p>

<p>it has the exact same wording as the earlier one (the first reader etc.etc.) but mine was dated Feb. 23</p>

<p>SO THERE IS STILL HOPE.</p>

<p>also a Plano-ite here.</p>

<p>ahhh this totally made my already great day (hahh it was 88 degrees today) even better :D</p>

62

<p>I got one also today</p>

63

<p>me toooooo!</p>

64

<p>i got one today too!! so excited because i had given up hope</p>

65

<p>Does the likely mean that we get better merit aid?</p>

66

<p>Just when I had tucked all my hope for a likely letter away! I guess I'll hang on to it for one more day - congrats to all of you. Feel up to posting stats?</p>

67

<p>didn't.get.<strong><em>.yet.</em></strong>.....</p>

68

<p>Don't dwell on it, iambored. CC is not representative of the applicant pool.</p>

69

<p>As I've been saying (and seem to be ignored), IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD IF YOU DON'T GET A LIKELY LETTER.</p>

70

<p>Did anyone else get a "Campus Visit Survey"? i just got one today after 5 months from the date i visited Rice...</p>

71

<p>Certainly not "THE END OF THE WORLD" but it sure would be sweet. Funny you choose to follow this thread at all death-from-above, perhaps you're interested?</p>

72

<p>I just got a letter today!</p>

<p>I guess they are still being sent out :]</p>

73

<p>Would folks that got a letter mind posting their stats?</p>
