<p>^That’s why you were waitlisted. You are clearly qualified.</p>
<p>^^
To put it simply, interviewers don’t know sh**. I hate it when I hear people say that their interviewer said they were a shoo-in, because there is literally no possible way that the interviewer could know anything related to the actual admissions process. All they do is send in a report of dubious importance to the admissions committee.</p>
<p>Also, this bitter, overqualified talk going on is unnecessary.</p>
<p>I’m with you collegefan. My friend’s brother was waitlisted by Rice and accepted to Stanford…and I know he isn’t the only one in that situation. I am trying to keep my head held high and try to be optimistic for Thursday! I was a little shocked that I was waitlisted too!</p>
<p>I love Rice and I still can’t believe I got accepted! I never believed that I could get into my dream school! 
I haven’t heard from financial aid yet, because my dad still hasn’t signed his darn FAFSA haha! I’ll post what I get when I find out! I hope it’s a lot, we only make 24 000 a year.</p>
<p>The term “overqualified” is a myth, IMO.</p>
<p>Also, as bittersweet as it is, I’m tired of people considering waitlist decisions bad! You were waitlisted for a reason. Hardly anyone is waitlisted - it means you were one of the top applicants! Rice’s waitlist decision letter wasn’t very flattering, most other universities try to boost your ego a little bit more in their letters. Since Rice didn’t, I’m here to do that for you. ;)</p>
<p>D is in with Trustee Scholarship!</p>
<p>^Congrats!!</p>
<p>Rejected. </p>
<p>I can’t believe I’m flat out rejected at Rice because I got into Wash U & Notre Dame… but then I’m kinda not shocked because I live in Texas.</p>
<p>@CalciumRich Congrats!! I think with your income level (mines is similar to that. I was waitlisted though) it will be a full ride because they meet 100% of your need and your EFC should be zero.</p>
<p>Accepted! I’ll be attending Wash U though… So, good luck to all you on the Waitlist!</p>
<p>We were kind of surprised - DS was waitlisted. He’s been accepted to Wash U and Amherst. He would have preferred Rice. Oh, well, time to move on. The letter said Rice will have moved people off of waitlist by JULY 1. Wow, that’s late. I don’t think we can wait that long.</p>
<p>You basically have to send in your deposit at another school and just forfeit that deposit if you get accepted by a school that you were waitlisted at.</p>
<p>Accepted, no scholarship (applied as intl, no need-based aid).
The email arrived like a minute after I decided to turn in for the night. I saw it just now when I woke up to finish my homework. I guess being a slacker pays off</p>
<p>DD was accepted, no scholarship. (Was wait listed at WUSTL.) Rice is not her dream and she’ll probably go elsewhere. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Those of you who were accepted might find this link on the Rice admissions page useful:[Rice</a> University | Undergraduate Admission: Admitted Students](<a href=“http://www.futureowls.rice.edu/futureowls/admitted_students.asp]Rice”>http://www.futureowls.rice.edu/futureowls/admitted_students.asp).</p>
<p>Thanks slik nik. That’s really helpful.</p>
<p>waitlisted at WUSTL, accepted with Trustee (:</p>
<p>Hi,everyone! Congratz on your acceptances! Does anyone know whether Rice use FedEx to send intl admitted students their admission packet?</p>
<p>yeah, I am an intel and I got in by ED, they Fedex me several days later.</p>
<p>^ Thank you, popy!=)</p>
