Rice is conducting virtual interviews this year. Spots will fill quickly.
“We recommend an interview for first-year applicants, though they are optional and not guaranteed. Interviews are a great way to demonstrate interest in Rice and an excellent opportunity to showcase academic and personal successes while learning more about the campus experience. An inability to schedule an interview will not negatively impact your application.
Due to Covid-19, all interviews for the 2020 - 2021 application cycle will be conducted virtually. A trained alumnus or current Rice University senior will virtually meet with you to learn more about your accomplishments and academic interests and to answer your questions about studying at Rice.
A limited number of interviews with current Rice University seniors will be available beginning in late August through our campus visit website. You do not need to have submitted your admission application to schedule an interview with a current senior, but interview slots are on a first-come, first-served basis.” https://riceadmission.rice.edu/portal/virtual-interview
There are still a few interview spots left in November and December. Sign up now before all the spots are filled.
Does anyone know when the January spots will open up on the interview calendar? My child is applying RD, so they didn’t think of interviewing until then.
The interviews from this point on are with alumni. According to the admissions website, “You may request an interview with a Rice alumnus through your application portal after you submit your application. These interviews will be conducted November through February.”
