<p>Given that the freshmen already know their decisions, seems like a good idea to concentrate our transfer inquiries on a single thread.</p>
<p>Let's start with a simple question: where are you transferring from? Me, Houston Community College.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone and let's keep this thread going until we get our acceptance letters!</p>
<p>Hello, Hopefully there isnt too many of us as Rice only has about 50 slots for transfer students. If accepted I will be transferring from Lone Star Community College. If not accepted I will likely transfer to A&M, which thankfully isnt a horrible second option.</p>
<p>I cannot wait to hear back from Rice. I’m nervous. But anyways, I’m transferring from Kilgore Community College, and if I don’t get in, just like bmrepete, I’ll likely find myself at Texas A&M. Based upon when freshman got their decisions, I don’t think we’ll hear back until around mid May.</p>
<p>I’m attempting to transfer to Rice from the University of Texas at Dallas. I assume we will probably hear some sort of decision no later than May 15th. Also, bmrepete, how do you know that there are only about 50 transfer slots?</p>
<p>There are a little bit more than 50, but they will accept around 100.</p>
<p>That’s how it was last year.</p>
<p>FYI for all you transfers, there are more spots out there this year for the fall. From what I know, Rice is no longer doing Spring Transfer admissions, and instead accepting more students for the fall term. We just started the Rice Transfer Student Association as well, so feel free to contact us if you want more information, etc. </p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
<p>I wasn’t accepted to Rice as a freshman this year :(. I plan on applying as a transfer student as a sophomore next fall from the University of Houston. Any tips on how to make myself stand out? Thanks!</p>
<p>Woah am I the only international transfer on this thread?
Transferring from the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, India.
I’m just going to finish my second year here.
Might sound weird but I spent 4 years of my life trying to get into my current college and now it’s facing de-recognition.
Lack of infrastructure etc. But it’s ranked #1 in India so it may just lose it’s standing without getting derecognized, but as of now our futures are in the loop.
I also applied to Cooper Union, Virginia-Tech and Syracuse.
Yet to hear back from any of them.
Priority wise, for me it’s CU>Rice>VT>SU
I’ve run out of nails to chew on.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Hello =]</p>
<p>i’m a prospective transfer applying to the wiess school of natural sciences, and i’m transferring from carnegie mellon university</p>
<p>@wannagetout I’m currently studying in the US, but I’m also an international student!</p>
<p>@transfermonk what major are you transferring to?
and what are your stats like?</p>
<p>I attended an information session at Rice back in November and they told me that there was only about 50 transfer slots for the entire university, and only 20 slots for the engineering school. Im glad to here that there is more! Good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>hoping to transfer currently sophmore from SCAD in georgia. 50 slots? Thats very little.
unfortunatly still got to wait a whole month to hear from them.</p>
<p>^ The wait should be less than a month; I believe the decisions were released last year around April 27th by email.</p>
<p>Just the idea that we might find out in less than 2 weeks gives me chills…</p>
<p>@wannagetout I’ve applied to the Economics program at the School of Social Sciences. </p>
<p>This is my CC stats page [Stats</a> Profile](<a href=“http://■■■■■■/d2dCaH]Stats”>http://■■■■■■/d2dCaH)</p>
<p>Anyone else going for Econ?</p>
<p>@transfermonk Yeah, 2 weeks is kind of…eeek. Though, I would like to know sooner, rather than later.</p>
<p>yea i know, 10 days from today. Gahhh, i’ll go insane with the wait. anyone know when on the 27th, if that date is even confirmed?</p>
<p>The date isn’t confirmed. The admissions office is still sticking to saying mid-may. However, I think if you browse through the Rice transfer thread from last year on the Transfer forum, it shows that students were notified on the 27th.</p>
<p>At this point as long as I get accepted, I don’t really care when I’m notified. :P</p>
