Each year, this is a merit package, no other scholarships or financial aid at Rice yet.

Congratulations to all accepted. If you can attend Owl Days or one of the other admitted student days, do so. My daughter committed to attend Rice as soon as she got home from the admitted student event.

Has anyone heard any WL news? University of Chicago and Wesleyan have both started to make WL offers.
No, but the Rice waitlist in particular seems like quite a long shot. I canāt find data for 2022 but they only took 2 people off the waitlist (out of over 2,000) for Fall 2021 so Iām not too hopeful.
Rice had higher than expected yield rates the past few years so did not go to the wait list much. Undergraduate Yield Rates | Office of Institutional Effectiveness | Rice University
This year Rice scaled back on the number admitted. Maybe if the yield is down there could be some movement on the wait list. However, If I were on the Rice wait list, I would move on and get excited about the college where I was planning to enroll. Rice hits record low 7.7% acceptance rate for ā27 - The Rice Thresher

Agreed. Iāve pretty much written Rice off and am not even sure I would choose it over current choices at this point, but itās been one of my favorites so if I happen to get in off the waitlist I will certainly consider it and it would be a nice problem to have. Good luck to everyone!

Did anyone get off waitlist?
My son gave up his spot at Rice yesterday, in lieu of Emory. Iām sure there were other similar last minute decisions made yesterday. So there is hope. It will likely take a few days for them to sort out the enrollment demographicsā¦

What made your son choose Emory over Rice? Congrats on such great options!
He loved Rice, but Emory offered him a $50,000/year aid package and Rice offered $0. Plus, we live in Atlanta, and heās on a pre-med track and already has lots of medical connections locally. But, mainly, it was the $$.

They told us when we called.
We have not heard of anyone getting in off the Rice waitlist yet. But other lists are moving including UCLA, Tufts, UVA, and Stanford.
Does anyone know if they took anyone off the waitlist last year? The year before they only took 2 people but I canāt find any info on last year. It seems they are very good at predicting their yield. We may not have heard of them taking anyone because they either take no one or very few. If that is the case they should just close the waitlist and let people know so that they donāt continue to hold out hope.
