<p>is anyone else considering this program?</p>
<p>i am. </p>
<p>but the question is whether they will consider me for it...</p>
<p>same here. i gotta get in interim decision</p>
<p>I applied, but it would take a miracle for me to get in. I'm 80% sure I'll go to Notre Dame over Rice unless I get into the program.</p>
<p>The website says that 269 people, who were already accepted ED/ID, applied last year for Rice/Baylor. That didn't sound like terrible odds to me until I realized that with only 20 accepted, it's only about 7.4%.</p>
<p>But yeah, I'm applying and anxiously awaiting ID.</p>
<p>I'm more concerned about getting into Rice first though... the more I read/learn about it, the better it sounds.</p>
<p>sigh.......... I hope I at least get into Rice first</p>
<p>it's more like 12-15 accepted...</p>
<p>The site said 20 accepted. 15 expected to matriculate.</p>
<p>Has anybody written the essays yet? I'm a horrible procrastinator...I've written/thrown away so many drafts yet I have no idea what on earth I'm going to submit. The deadline is coming up soon I think.</p>
<p>What are the essay prompts??</p>
<p>the essay prompt is out? shouldn't that come with baylor application?</p>
<p>you get the prompt when u get accepted to rice. i posted the prompt in another post a while ago.</p>
<p>So what criteria does Baylor use to determine who becomes a finalist?</p>
<p>well rounded people, stats, all of it.</p>
<p>does anyone know if they read the essay included with our original application to rice?</p>
<p>Does anyone get into this program who did not receive merit scholarship?</p>
<p>I mailed my R/B stuff yesterday and that part where you sign the app basically gives Baylor access to all of the stuff we gave Rice.</p>
<p>WOW. You sent the app yesterday? Amazing. I am a bit confused about the question that asks about nonacademic interest. Does this refer to just school classes? Would it be ok if I write about my research in chemistry or is that considered academic?</p>
<p>Congrats to all and good luck!</p>
<p>I got the Trustee Distinguised and Century Scholarship, and I'm applying to Rice/Baylor...does that indicate I have a good chance?</p>
