I didn’t get in, but that’s ok! It would have been a miracle if I had. Plus I already know what college I want to go to. Congrats on everyone who got in! I’m happy for you guys! And to those who didn’t get in, I know you probably feel sucky but remember everything’s going to be okay!

I thought nobody wanted me after a reject and a waitlist LOL I am very grateful

Accepted to Rice and everywhere else I’ve applied to so far

Accepted! I also have the package notification on MyUSPS.

Rejected

Accepted with a $25.5K scholarship! Congrats to all you owls. If you didn’t get accepted, that’s okay! Your dream college is there waiting for you, even if it isn’t Rice. When I visited a couple weeks ago, I saw something scribbled in a wall on the library… “Rice isn’t the end!!” It’s not for you either! :slight_smile:

ACCEPTED! But I’m worried about affordability. Does anybody know if we will be receiving our financial aid letters with our acceptance letter in the mail?
