<p>Just checking in, fellow <em>prospective</em> owls</p>
<p>edit,</p>
<p>I used a banana peel as my picture. Get it? A peel! Lolz</p>
<p>^Did you really? That’s hilarious. I love it.</p>
<p>I wonder how much they pay attention to the signatures. Does anyone know why Rice has the box in the first place?</p>
<p>I took a picture of Superman and Batman in the “Superman Cafe” videos on youtube (made by the guys at HISHE)</p>
<p>I got accepted. I cried when I found out.:D</p>
<p>I used a picture of Bob Ross</p>
<p>Does anyone have a link to the statistics on early decision (accepted v. rejected v. deferrals) released last year because of Rice’s mistake in sending acceptance letters to everyone? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>This is the only link I can find:</p>

<p>I heard that this ED pool of applicants (class of 2017) was even more competitive than last year. Many more were deferred or denied. I predict that only 14-15% of regular applicants will be accepted.</p>
<p>^ I found it here:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rice-university/1258547-deferral-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rice-university/1258547-deferral-2.html</a>
apparently out of 1231, 306 were admitted, 127 deferred, and 798 rejected </p>
<p>I’m glad, at least, that Rice doesn’t seem to defer near as many applicants as other schools ;o</p>
<p>Does anyone know if RD decisions come out before April 1st? That just seems too late in the whole decision-making process for those kids who live too far to visit pre-acceptance.</p>
<p>Kamn1 - those were rates from 2011 (2012 freshmen). I don’t think anything has been published yet for the freshmen of 2013.</p>
<p>~ msmom&dad, yeah i know we wont get those states until later. i was just looking for previosus stats to get an idea of how many people they defer each year
@needavacation, last eyear decisions came out 3/23. not a huge difference for your purposes though.</p>
<p>I agree with poetgrl.</p>
<p>Lots of spelling errors in post #293 but I agree with poetgrl too.</p>
<p>^ yeah sorry, phone was being weird.</p>
<p>What are the chances of being accepted after being deferred during ED? (ARCH program)</p>
<p>Fyi, the Common App is on EST, not the time zone of the person submitting the app. It’s easy to forget that, which is one reason to submit your app a couple of days early, just to be safe.</p>
<p>Just curious…what does the acceptance letter look like? I’ve heard that the rejection comes through email. :/</p>
<p>My daughter got accepted through email. On March 23rd she got an email with the subject line" Your Rice Admission Decision". A few days later the letter came.</p>
