Rice 2022 Waitlist

Anyone hear anything today?

Congrats @Agntep !!! Did they say anything about how many students they were planning on taking off the waitlist or anything like that?

My daughter was called on Tuesday from the admissions office after 5pm to offer her admissions. Rice was her #1 choice so she is happy again.
It’s been a tough month here for us waiting so I know what you are are going through. Good luck to everyone and I pray that you all get into the school that you want keep the faith… your hard work will pay off and you never know your chosen path☺️

No they did not mention how many were on the list only that they were starting to offer admissions to those that are waitlisted.

Is it too late to submit a letter of continued interest on the portal?

Better late than never, especially if Rice is your first choice, and you would definitely immediately enroll if you are accepted.

Its may 1st…waitlist decisions should start coming out soon

If anyone gets accepted from the waitlist, how long are they given before they need to give an enrollment deposit and accept their admission?

They called last week with a May 1 deadline.
1 week for us, I hope longer for others.

Just spoke to Rice Admissions, they said their yield rate was higher than last year

So r they done with the waitlist?

@lgmac23, did they say when they will stop calling?

It makes sense given their lower acceptance rate right? Can we make any real conclusion in regard to how this affects us waitlisted students?

Has anyone heard anything since that first day?

Just received a call yesterday saying I’ve been accepted from the waitlist. I had given up hope, but yes, they are still seeing waitlist movement. Good luck!

@jrdsnw Congrats! I have to ask, do they usually call at a convenient time?

I was admitted off the waitlist a week ago, however, I was accepted at another university that I will be attending instead. Good luck!!

@HuiDoge I received the call at about 6:30 PM EDT.

Did any waitlist people receive an email? I’m an international student and scared I’ll miss the call. Also, how many waves does Rice traditionally have?

@jrdsnw how long did Rice give you to respond to the wait list offer? Did you decide to enroll?
