Rice Architecture!

<p>Post here if you got in! :D </p>

<p>I hear they accept less than 30 people. Is this true?</p>

<p>I thought it was only like 12 or something?</p>

<p>Rice arch is 26 people or at least I'm pretty sure.
And hi sooxee, I'm your friend from facebook/chat. I don't think you know my CC name.</p>

<p>Waitlisted. Maybe someone won't accept? :(</p>

<p>I've read that it's 24... and somehow, Rice wasn't sufficiently blown away by my application and portfolio to INCLUDE ME in that number :(</p>

<p>I got the "denied" email today.</p>

<p>They accept 42 and usually about 25 people actually come.</p>

<p>Ah okay. Thanks for the info, dragon2owl!</p>

<p>archhopeful, i probably won't accept. you can have my spot :P</p>

<p>Hey I'm a freshman architecture student (archi) at Rice and if ya'll have any questions feel free to private message me, I'll be happy to talk to ya'll and tell you all how awesome Rice is :)</p>

<p>I'm in! When I was at On-Campus Day, a few of us went to the SoA forum, where an official told me it was roughly 28-30 students out of approximately 300 who are accepted... (They assume roughly 25-27 will accept their offer.) Those are steep odds, but remember that most other schools weed out approximately the same percentage later on. </p>

<p>gibbsr88, could you tell us if there are a significant number of arkies on scholarship? That's the clincher for me... merit aid. Thanks.</p>

<p>Oh well, it doesn't really matter. No merit money here. I'm pretty bummed; it looks like my parents won't give a darn about Rice as of now.</p>

<p>bkwrm665, I also heard that this year it was 24. I don't know how many applied, though. Has anyone been notified of a scholarship just for architecture? (i.e., Not via the Office of Admissions). There are a few listed on the SoA website but I don't know anything about them.</p>

<p>I didn't get any merit. :/</p>

<p>I only know of financial aid scholarships here. To my knowledge there isn't any merit aid here, as all/most of the admitted students are pretty amazing already.</p>

<p>Also, the guy who does the admissions talked at a seminar we had and said that 42 were offered admission with the idea that 25 will accept. I know a few archies who were waitlisted and made it because less than 25 people accepted. They found out pretty late too, so you never know. There is still hope!</p>
