*****OFFICIAL RICE CLASS OF 2021 THREAD*****

Wtf

@hbrunner yES that is amazing.

Decision date anyone?

last year, it was around March 26, so I assume it’s around that time this year as well.

Daughter received her acceptance last year on 3/25, so maybe 3/24 this year?

The fact that some people here actually put memes in possibly the most important application they’ll have to make in a very long time…

Inspired me to put a youtube link to “All Star by Smashmouth but every word is replaced by ‘Somebody’” in my Box! <3 Great idea guys!

When I went to Rice VISION, one of the professors said that the acceptances might be a week later than last year since their spring break shifted. So maybe instead of the March 24th ish days it might end up being a bit closer to April 1st. But, she wasn’t too sure.

Does Rice normally release a decision date, or do they just come out randomly one day?

For “The Box” upload, I grabbed my Rice Owl plushee, taped chopsticks to its hand, put a bowl of rice in front of it and taped a paper with rice’s logo behind it.

I put a picture of IBM Blue Gene, which is located in Texas. Rice made it in a partnership with IBM. And since I also mentioned about it in one of my essays, I thought it’d look great.

I just put a picture of my sister and me from when we were little. It might’ve been done a lot but well…

Accepted Chapel Hill, Rejected BU, now waiting on Rice

I put a penguin because when I was young I liked penguins…ahha they are probably trying to make up some connection to my application (or hopefully connecting it with climate change, which I mentioned in my app…).

I started a golf team at my high schools, so I sent in a picture of our brand new golf bags our team of 8 just got in:)

Rice is my last college decision, so I’ll be able to commit after admissions results. Man these past few months of college waiting and essays and recommendations have gone by fast in hindsight

What are everyone’s safety schools? Mine are UCB, UCSC, UCLA, and UCD (I’m from California).

I don’t think those are safeties lol. Or maybe you were being ironic?

No, I’m serious. Trust me, these are actually my safety schools. I’ve already gotten accepted into three (with honors in UCSC and UCD) and am waiting on UCB. My dream school is Harvard. ;:wink:

Any guesses on if decisions might come out before the 1st of april?

@CrystalRose7 Schools with 18% acceptance rate are “safeties” for no one. I get you are just being a tr oll . . . but can’t imagine why. Seems kind of mean when people with near-perfect stats are rejected from these schools.

My daughter is a junior at Rice. We are waiting on results for son. When she was accepted (2014), the email came after 5pm on the Friday before April 1st. So, I would expect an email from them after 5pm on March 31st this year.
