To be fair, they’re much faster than UT 
They did not have rolling admissions decisions last year–everyone heard back on the same date. So hopefully this means we will heard back sooner.

So, if I find out tomorrow I get accepted by William & Mary, which requires a Yes/No decision by May 15th, how do I go about this process if Rice doesn’t release by that date?

You have to put down multiple deposits, unfortunately or hope rice gets you a decision before then. I had to put down a deposit at Umiami because they required an answer by april 30th and I am unfortunately still waiting on 4 schools.
SID to where you got in first, if you got the Pell Grant the fee should be waived. Then if you get into Rice just go there.
I got waitlisted! 
Got a no from UVA.
I’m not sure of how clear this will be an indication towards the answer I’ll get from Rice, of course its a lot more competitive but I did send a very different application to the school with Rice specific aspects. Fingers crossed, both are dream schools.
Wait you got a waitlist decision already?
From William and Mary
Oh I thought you meant you got waitlisted from Rice lol

Rice may wait to see what the yield will be from freshman admits. Some students wait to commit to Rice until May 1. Rice guarantees housing for all new students including incoming transfers. After the freshmen respond, Rice knows how much housing is open and how many transfers can be admitted. You should hear something soon since it is after May 1.

This school clearly doesn’t value transfer students and watch us hear back at the end of may
what? the end of may? i thought its rolling
According to College Gazette, they release all transfer decisions by May 31. I couldn’t find anything about how early it could be though.
Last year decisions came out the 18th. I suspect since it is rolling most people might hear back significantly later than that.
Radio silence from everyone else, too?

Just called their office of admissions, and they said it will come out in waves starting May 18th till the end of the month.
