[OFFICIAL] Waiting Room

<p>@raelah Agreed :)</p>

<p>I am curious as to which other non ivy institute is yet to release decisions… Duke, John Hopkins, Vandy… anyone else??</p>

<p>yeah carnegie mellon still hasn’t released their decisions yet either.</p>

<p>@ksmith… thats not true… carnegie released decisions Sunday morning.( Today ??)…</p>

<p>Yeah I realized that just now lol.
my bad.</p>

<p>hey indianinsaudi, did you apply to carnegie mellon?</p>

<p>hey, its k,…
no, did you?
My friend woke me up early in the morning and screamed his acceptance… i obviously hung up… i plan to do it if i get rice :P</p>

<p>Yeah I applied, but was rejected :frowning:
Carnegie Mellon wasn’t my #1 school so I’m not 100% torn up about it, but Rice IS my #1 choice and they are even more selective than Carnegie Mellon, which I couldn’t even get into. So I’m just feeling like crap right now.</p>

<p>I don’t know about you guys, but for me Rice had the most extensive supplement out of all the schools I applied to. It required three supplements in addition to the Common App essay, and one of those supplements was a 2-3 page essay. Maybe this is the reason it’s taking a longer time to release decisions, since the officers had to read an extreme amount of writing.</p>

<p>^pumpfake: The Rice supplement was at least the same length as, and perhaps shorter than, the MIT and Caltech apps, and both schools released two weeks ago.</p>

<p>Just sayin</p>

<p>you guys are putting rice down for releasing applications on the date they said to be released? I dont understand the problem, you’re all just being impatient.</p>

<p>i’d love to go to rice…do the results come out in mail or esther?</p>

<p>Lol… i just got this strong feeling im gonna be rejected…lol… like my image of me being at rice just shattered to pieces in front of me right now… lol…i have now psychologically accepted the possibility that i will be rejected… i better start imagining myself at UIUC or GTECH…</p>

<p>@cowking: bingo! Impatient indeed!! I cannot wait to get my results. Whether it’s an AD or REJ or WL, I don’t care, I just want to know the decision.</p>

<p>You guys have it easy. I’ve been looking at past decision threads and almost all the Asian Indians from Texas have been rejections. </p>

<p>And guess who I am: an Asian Indian living in Texas with a sub 2300 score. Not that many ECs either. : /</p>

<p>Would anyone like to read my Rice perspective essay and grade its uniqueness?</p>

<p>Ouch… well good luck to everyone. Everything happens for a reason! Let’s just take it all easy and not be compulsive over it… </p>

<p>Soo… anyone get any good FA packages to some other places?</p>

<p>I’m a bit afraid to post again on here, but, yeah, ds has great packages from three different schools, including two top-ranked LACs, so we feel very fortunate. Of course, Rice has a lot of things the other schools don’t, so we definitely want it to be in the mix.</p>

<p>@ Esplin I’ll read it! :)</p>

<p>I think Rice is worth the wait. <3</p>

<p>I am very happy (and fortunate) to say that I have a good FA package to TCU :)</p>

<p>Thats good you guys have some nice FA packages. My one friend got near 48k grant from one of their schools! Needless to say I was quite envious :-)</p>

<p>Rice Undergrad Decisions are up!</p>

<p>where does it say on Esther?</p>
