Deferred guys 
my Sat II Scores :(( Good luck to rest of ya’ll! It’s up!
My daughter got accepted. Big relief! Good luck to everyone!
just got this email: “Status Update: Check your Rice Admissions Student Portal.” i’m scared
My daughter’s is up too. She got in.
I wanted to get in so bad… :((
I don’t know about everyone else, but my daughter’s status had changed on the portal and when you clicked on it it took you to the acceptance letter. Our counselor had told us she would receive an email telling her that her status had changed, but we haven’t received the email yet. I was just reloading the portal page when I noticed the change and clicked on it.
I just got in!
when do they post scholarship info?
got rejected. Letter says applicant pool was 18 times the number of available spaces this year. That’s an admission rate of 5.56%
@DartDart admissions results are up
They’re out, I got deferred
@DartDart it’s real, people from my school have started getting their results.
I got in!
They’re out, I got deferred
What does it say if you got deferred? Does it say “deferred”? Because I’m pretty sure i just got flat out rejected…
@alexmu4 “The Committee on Admission has completed a careful evaluation of your Early Decision application for admission. The final decision on your application has been deferred to the Regular Decision plan. We would like to consider your request for admission within the context of the whole applicant pool.” RIP ME
Daughter got in. What a relief!
