thank youuuu i am super excited about it. a part of me is worried that i won’t be able to compete with my classmates once i get there or that i’ve idealized Berkeley for so long and i will end up actually hating it but we’ll see i guess!
I dunno if anyone would know this, but does a waitlist at Vanderbilt mean a rejection at Rice is likely? It’s my understanding that Rice is a bit more selective and my essays were pretty similar to both schools.
People have gotten waitlisted/rejected at Vanderbilt but accepted to Rice. Admissions are a crapshoot!
Yeah I guess kinda. Well thanks! Would love to go to Rice, or get off the waitlist at Vanderbilt.
Its Rice final week these days. Hopefully we’ll hear before end of semester.
Did anyone in here apply to Managerial Studies

Financial Aid Award Notifications come out on May 1, so I assume that’s when admission results come out!!
wow exciting!
Are you sure about this???
@123ghost I applied to Managerial Studies, I’m not sure how competitive the major is tho
@studentex420 would you mind sharing your stats?
@transferrrrrrcc according to their website, that’s when fin aid comes out. I’m just making a conjecture, but it seems reasonable that transfer students will know their app decision by the time they get their fin aid!! Fingers crossed, at least
I did too. @123ghost

If financial aid is supposed to come out tomorrow then I wouldn’t be surprised if decisions came out today (or tomorrow). I could be wrong, but don’t FA decisions for transfers usually come out after decisions?
Assuming decisions actually do come out tomorrow, good luck everyone!
I called Rice, and they said financial aid can come out before decisions - we can get them anytime from now to mid June. They were not too friendly either…
Why would they give out financial aid before decisions … that’s just false hope
I knowww right!
Best of luck to everyone. Results please come soon!!
