Rice University Transfer Fall 2021 Thread

@peachesandroses But spring semesters are not done yet. I mean maybe a few colleges are… My son’s community college doesn’t even end until I think it’s June 3…

@Larail Sorry for all of my typos in my previous response to you. What it should’ve said is not all colleges are even done with the spring semester yet. My son’s community college doesn’t even end until June 3 so obviously spring transcripts won’t even be coming out until about a week after that.

But you have turned in your mid semester transcript right? Like all your check boxes have a green check?

The spring semester ends on the 12th for me. I should be able to send my transcript before the 31st.

From May 31? Where did you get that from? On the Rice website, it states that decisions will be released “by” May 31.

@Larail but they won’t be your official transcripts yet because of course your final grades won’t be on them. Final grades obviously are not reported until you’ve taken your finals and they calculate the grade.

@kimochii I picked up on her wording as well. I think it was just a slip up on her part. It happens. I’m sure she meant to write as you said,” by”.

Oh! I hope so :crossed_fingers: I was worried that they may have pushed back their decision release date

I’m a applying as a transfer from The City College of New York.

Current GPA 3.6
Biomedical Engineering major
Applying for Bioengineering

High School GPA was a 95
Took a lot of APs and College classes while in hs.

Just wishing everyone good luck and that if you do not get accepted that it doesn’t mean that you’re not great!

at this point the withdraw my application option is looking real nice lmao

Nah, imma stay in. I am kind of frustrated with the schools, overall, though. There is zero transparency about when decisions need to be made and will be released. It’s just sort of unfair to keep us sitting here for months without knowing anything when we poured ourselves into the applications.

Totally understandable. There are colleges that have a strict commitment date, and it’s difficult to make a decision when we haven’t heard back from certain colleges yet… like Rice. Usually it seems like they do a good job of releasing decisions in a timely manner, but maybe this year is just extra abnormal. I just hope we can hear back soon. This week seems pretty quiet so I have a feeling that maybe next week will be our week.

I hope decisions come out on the 28th of May!

I’m honestly just shocked that they didn’t come out on the first week of this month like I thought they would somehow? but perhaps they’re doing it differently now?

I hope we can hear back soon though, since I know most of y’all have to give an answer back to the other colleges you’ve also applied to! And again, good luck everyone! :blush:

I think you’re the only one here who doesn’t want to hear back from them soon haha

I have a feeling Rice already has a list of the transfer students they’ve accepted. I think now they are figuring out housing and other logistics as this year Rice accepted the largest pool of regular decision applicants than they did in the past. That is probably why it is taking so long.

That makes a lot of sense tbh! Well, let’s just hope that the decisions can come out soon enough. :slight_smile:
