<p>i did a drawing in my box emphasizing my interest for stem cell research</p>
<p>i got it, got it</p>
<p>got in of course!
Elated, joyful, the list goes on!
Now time to decide between numerous schools!
This could be very tough!</p>
<p>Admitted! SAT (old): 800 V, 780 M
SAT 2's : 800. 790, 770
Don't feel like listing anything else right now. Hoping for some merit scholarships!</p>
<p>What you all are forgetting is what Rice says about their admission policy. "As a result of this some very able candidates will be denied." Quit beating yourself up. There are only so many vacancies.</p>

<p>Accepted! :)</p>
<p>However, I didn't see anything in the admission packet about scholarships... are they just giving those to Texas residents right now? I'm hoping for something</p>
<p>scholarships given by rice univeversity, you are automatically considered for those.</p>
<p>i was accepted with the trustee distinguished scholarship, $54k, $13.5 a year, i think it was only in the packet, not online</p>
<p>wait, 54k per year?? it doesn't cost that much to go rice...im confused.</p>
<p>$13,500 a year. $54,000 total (over four years).</p>
<p>did ne one who applied early get any merit scholarships?</p>
<p>trustee distinguished is merit</p>
<p>i thought you did ID</p>
<p>they send u a package with grants and other thigns besides just merit scholarships</p>

General Comments:</p>
<p>you seem pretty qualified doc, remember that they reject many qualified people dont be dissapointed</p>
<p>anyone going to the april 20th owl weekend?</p>
<p>damn, highschooldoc how did they reject u? I had worse stats than u and I got deferred.</p>
<p>dont worry about it doc. Youll definitely get into another college that you may even like more than you thought. As many people say, it may be a blessing in disguise. ( i wish I had stats like yours)</p>
<p>HighschoolDoc-I could only wish for your credentials. You'll do fine wherever you go. If you want to go to Rice, try again next year.</p>
