Rice University Waived my application fee

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Rice University waived my fee because of my scores on several AP exams. I was wondering if they were more inclined to accept me because of this. Though this is a small price, if they do not accept me, they would lose money. I can't imagine them doing this for many people. </p>

<p>My grades are fairly far below Rice's average because of a terrible freshman year, but I meet all of the other criteria for acceptance including a great essay, great recommendations, rigor of secondary school classes and several other criteria.</p>

<p>They assume you are a good applicant based on your AP performance without knowing your complete profile.</p>

<p>An application fee waiver does not guarantee an admission. It does guarantee a good look.</p>

<p>Thanks. I think the other things on my application will outweigh my low unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>If you have a 4.0 weighted GPA, that might be sufficient.</p>

<p>I have a 4.1 weighted GPA</p>
