<p>So what’s the verdict on the decision release date? Do we think it is the 22nd or the 29th?</p>
<p>okay, so is it fine for the status to say no record found? Or should I give the school a call?</p>
<p>I believe last year the decision was a few days before Ivy day, so my guess would be 22nd.</p>
<p>Last year when did they say that it’d be on the 22nd? They can’t just surprise us like that can they?</p>
<p>^Of course they can. They can do whatever they want haha</p>
<p>Wow I did some research and they totally did surprise people last year… that’s soo cruel ahh. ill be plugged in at all times starting next week i guess</p>
<p>Is Rice everyone’s first choice?</p>
<p>Out of the schools where I have a somewhat reasonable chance, Rice is my first choice!</p>
<p>^^Eh, I think for many (esp. TX applicants(?)) Rice would be only marginally less difficult, than say, Dartmouth. I mean this year it’ll be like 15% I’m sure.</p>
<p>Yeah it’s my first choice</p>
<p>Speaking of interviews… let’s say hypothetically there’s someone who applies to Rice and he/she is the only one who does an interview from his/her state. Will this benefit the person in some way in terms of admissions?</p>
<p>I heard it is harder to get in I you are from Texas than, let’s say, Wisconsin…</p>
<p>Maybe. But 50% of Rice students are from Texas, so I doubt it makes much of a difference.</p>
<p>Then again, maybe it does. Rice is not very well known outside of Texas. I only know of one person from my school who currently attends, and I’m in a very good Californian private school.</p>
<p>Has anyone thought about which residential college they would want to be in? After my Rice visit in October, I researched each college and put them in order from my favorite to least favorite. I feel totally weird saying that, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who would do something like that. :P</p>
<p>I visited Rice a few days ago and the admission officer leading the information session said that decisions would come out on the 22nd.</p>
<p>Thanks Questlove!! (:</p>
<p>I am gonna be traveling on that Friday… Hope it doesn’t ruin my trip.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m gonna be on Kairos, which means no electronics. Heh.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh, the 22nd is less than two weeks away. So crazy. I just want to know!</p>
<p>I don’t really want to know which RC I’ll be wanting; it’ll just make the wait that much more grueling and myself that much more disappointed when I (assuming I get into Rice) am not chosen for that RC.</p>
<p>Same day as UCLA…the wait is going to be awful</p>
<p>@Aerobug: You go to a Jesuit high school??? I had my Kairos a month ago!</p>
<p>^ I didn’t know Kairos was a Jesuit thing, though it makes sense. Did you have a good time? I’m nervous/excited!</p>
