<p>Hey!</p>
<p>Does rice screen the Baylor scholar pool before passing the candidates to Baylor's? Also, can the app be postmarked on December 1st? I thought the apps were due Mid December :(</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>edit:
I'm gonna send it anyway but should I attach an apology for it being late/near late?</p>
<p>All apps can be postmarked by the due date. I dont think there is a point in sending it in late though. Maybe, not sure. Just try to get it in today.</p>
<p>I think Rice/Baylor screens the pool first. Because you can get into R/B, just get into RIce or get into neither.</p>
<p>I was at the Explore Rice thing and specifically asked - they said Rice screens you, and then a number of applicants get through to Baylor, who then picks who they want to interview. So you go through Rice first - I guess they relook over applications of people that got accepted or something? Not sure…</p>
<p>It needs to be received, but no harm in trying. I’m sure they’ll still consider you, as it takes a lot of time and effort filling out that thing, so you at least showed initiative. I have a feeling applying for that program helps out a bit for your general application, if you’re interested in medicine, through interest in the stuff of the school a bit. But I am probably wrong :).</p>
<p>I logged into my Rice thing to check application material statuses, and it said received for my R/B application - so you can try checking that in the next few days to see if it worked? Mine got in there tuesday I think, so they update within a few days.</p>
