42

<p>Could today be d-day???!!</p>

43

<p>Today was the day last year! ^.^</p>

<p>Rice probably received more transfer applications this year though, so I’d imagine that it’s going to a little closer to mid-may.</p>

44

<p>Why do you think they received more transfer applications this year?</p>

45

<p>becaused they’re stopping spring admit, so they’re probably going to accept more fall transfers in lieu of the spring transfer opton</p>

46

<p>Yeah, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to receive more applications. They did have spring admissions this year so there wouldn’t be an issue with more people applying.</p>

47

<p>Well I just got an e-mail from Rice saying I’m waitlisted. I wish they could have given me a direct answer but I guess the wait continues. Has anyone else heard back yet?</p>

48
