<p>For all of us who are now in purgatory. Let me know what you think our chances are....</p>
<p>No idea really… Hopefully those accepted are also accepted to Ivies and all flock over there :)</p>
<p>this is my second waitlist…</p>
<p>@Handela92: Rice has screwed up admission standards…last year, a guy from our school got accepted to princeton and rejected from Rice.</p>
<p>This year, I got rejected from Rice, but wailisted in Chicago and WUSTL, and accepted to Emory and UVa (OOS)… hmm?</p>
<p>why is that a hmm? Rice is a selective school, and considered a peer(academically) to most of the top schools in our country, including Stanford.</p>
<p>Do they have two waitlists or just one?</p>
<p>I didn’t get into Stanford or MIT and was waitlisted at Rice and WUSTL. Only one acceptance so far and that’s from my safety, state school.</p>
<p>um. waitlisted (deferred ED) here. accepted to northwestern. what’s the deal rice?</p>
<p>Pretty disheartening. Like other CCers above 2 waitlists now.
At least I have UCs to go back to.</p>
<p>I have also been waitlisted at UT, because I was not in the Top Ten percent. However, i have been accepted at Emory, SMU and Mays Business Honors at Texas A&M. Does anyone know the stats for waitlists? How many people get into the waitlist? And how many are eventually accepted? </p>
<p>Handala92, you made me feel better… and Jamiecago, I am sorry about that, but UVA and Emory are both stellar schools.</p>
<p>So sorry for the WL everyone. Stay strong!! Will you accept a spot on the WL?</p>
<p>I was accepted at Northwestern and WUSTL, but waitisted at Rice, hmmmmm. Maybe if they hadn’t let in 2 football kids (GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!) from my school there would be “room for me” as the Waitlist FAQ says…</p>
<p>accepted to berkeley (OOS) and wustl… waitlisted at uva(OOS) and rice…</p>
<p>man i really regret spending all that time on their essays… >.></p>
<p>It isn’t though i would like to think so</p>
<p>So how do we send updates to Rice to let them know we are still extremely interested in going? : /</p>
<p>waitlisted…I don’t really care though, Duke tommorow! Rice obviously saw, somehow, that it was not my first choice.</p>
<p>My son got admission into Uchicago and waitlisted at Rice, WUSL, Caltech, and Harvey Mudd. This is worse than purgatory.</p>
<p>Your sister goes to Stanford, or to Rice?</p>
<p>I anyone who considers themselves to be a shoe in at Rice(or ANY other selective school) doesn’t know much about the admission process.</p>
<p>Now, I don’t really wanna argue about Rice’s standing in the academic world. I was just arguing that it shouldn’t be disregarded just because it’s not in a silly little acronym :). Admission into HYPSM does not guarantee admission everywhere else.</p>
<p>Yeah i got waitlisted at uva too. my top choice is vanderbilt which comes out tomorrow. hopefully i don’t get the same result.</p>
<p>I’m joining the waitlisted club, too. A little surprising, but I’ll live.</p>
