On their official website. FAQ
I have not heard of anyone offered a spot of the WL yet. Has anyone else?
No, I have not. Not many people apply to Rice from my high school and I was the only person I know of who was waitlisted but I have checked College Confidential and Reddit and I have not seen anyone get in. It could be that they are full or only offering a couple spots so we may not hear anything. : (
Does anyone know if Rice usually sends out an email once the class is full and the waitlist if closed?
How many people were on the WL, though?
For Fall 2021 they had 2,118 on the waitlist and admitted 2. I was not able to find the information for Fall 2022. I know someone said 150 above but I did not see that number listed for last year. The only thing I saw in the FAQ was a statement that said āHow many admission offers will be made to waitlisted students? This number varies from year to year depending upon a variety of factors ranging from zero students to around 150 students.ā I looked at last yearās thread and didnāt actually see anyone admitted so Iām guessing the number was very low. As for the total number on the waitlist Iām guessing itās around 2K-ish.
Hi, where did you hear about Stanford WL moves?
This was on the CC Stanford thread mid April.
So I just looked at last yearās RIce thread and it actually says that they didnāt accept anyone from the waitlist last year. Seems like that might be the case this year tooā¦
So many wait lists are moving but I have not heard of anyone getting off the WL at Rice. Has anyone?
No. Itās not a very popular school where Iām from but Iāve looked a lot online and I havenāt heard of ANYONE getting off the waitlist. If they donāt have spots they should really just close the waitlist and let people move on.
No news!!!
Some of the School of Music studios did not offer the waitlist placement at all this year. Flute Studio, for example.
Someone on reddit said they emailed their regional AO as to why waitlisted students hadnāt heard any update by June 1st as promised, and they were told itās because they havenāt taken anyone from the waitlist so far this year. So I guess their class is full? Iām just wondering then why they donāt just close the waitlist and send out an email. Several other schools (even ones who used their waitlist) have already closed their waitlists after reaching their enrollment goals.
Daughter just received an email today that incoming class is full and they will not be accepting any waitlist candidates. She was advised to consider transfer application for Spring or fall 24.
Yeah, I got it too. Sad, but not sure I would have taken a spot over my current school at this point anyway.
what is your current school btw, I also got rejected from Rice waitlist
Iām going to WashU! How about you?
