***Rice University RD Class of 2019 Discussion***

@gettingaclue yes, they just haven’t posted decisions yet. But someone called admissions and said that tomorrow is finally going to be the day!! :slight_smile:

Well just got rejected to USC. I was pretty sure I’d get in there. Sorry if I sound bitter, but this is the third college with essays I thought I had a good shot at, so it’s indicating that my essays are quite bad and there goes my chance at Rice. The SAT needs to be harder so that a high score actually means something…

Just got regent & chancellor award from Cal. So no more Rice for me. no more waiting. yay!! Good luck to the rest of you. Hope to see some of you who will be going to Cal as well.

Does anyone by any chance know the time they will post the decisions? 5 pm central time? Sorry, I’m just really anxious from all the waiting…

Yes most likely 5 pm cst

Rejected from Berkeley, Duke, and USC on the same day. Ahahahaha life’s great

@stressed4lyfe Right there with you on USC and Berkeley. Come on Rice, you were my top choice anyway.

Just denied from UC Berkeley with a 2340 SAT and (in my opinion) medium to strong ECs… Don’t think i’ll make it to Rice anymore :confused: Glad I got UT as a backup tho XD

I’m starting to lose hope as well. Thank god march madness is almost over

oh hey someone else who’s awake this early! currently 1:31 here and wondering why i’m trying so hard to finish my AP Physics E/M homework lol

@rango141‌ Don’t lose hope. I know a friend with a 2400 / 4.0 who won a bunch of high-level hackathons and built a couple of companies off of his ideas, who got straight out rejected for EECS @ Cal. For reference, he got a half-ride at USC. I guess what I’m trying to say is that the admissions process is so damn random - can’t predict Rice based off of Cal :slight_smile:

@rango141 Just remember that Rice gets less than a quarter of the number of applicants that UCB gets and that honestly does matter, in my opinion. It’s really hard to get into some place like UCB even if you have high stats because you’re fighting against 75,000 others applicants for it.

Got rejected as well, by the way.

does rice come out tomorrow

I got in UCB! Hope we all hear good news from Rice!

When does Rice come out?

I’m a current student, '18. Last year they were released at 5 pm on the 29th (the Friday before).

I got rejected at Duke too, but accepted at Carnegie Mellon yesterday.

@davelee377‌ Sorry, I’m a bit confused - I thought last year they came out on Monday the 24th?

If rice doesn’t come out tonight I’m gonna explode
