Rice VISION 2023

Hello,
I made this thread hoping to find anyone who has received an invitation to Rice’s VISION program for URM applicants. Invitation serves as a likely letter for admission. Last year, invitations started going out on Wednesday, January 10th.

Nothing yet. There’s a similar thread on Reddit A2C asking the same thing.

Still haven’t heard of anyone getting a Vision invite. I wonder if in light of the race based admissions mess at Harvard if they stopped this program.

yeah it does seem like it. @T20hopeful2023
if it is still a thing, we should expect it anytime this week.
@MaybeHarvard2022 called the program director last year. Could you pm me his/her contact information?

Anyone received an invitation yet?

They probably discontinued the program @4coins

That’s seems likely. RIP Vision/SOAR

Or, let them surprise us haha.
They had SOAR 2018, so it only makes sense that they finish the cycle with Vision @T20hopeful2023

I just got invited. It’s not discontinued.

I WAS ALSO INVITED!!!

Does this mean I am not going to get into rice
? I haven’t gotten it
is it possible to receive it later

No! A small fraction of applicants receive an invitation for VISION. @anonymous522083

How rare is this? Should I be excited or not? Don’t wanna celebrate too early

But this worries me why didnt I get it ?
what are your scores ?

Invited and super excited!

hey what were your stats

@Ricecomm Invitation for VISION is a likely acceptance. If you don’t do anything TERRIBLE from now until mid march, you’ll get an acceptance. CONGRATS!

I’m looking forward to meeting ya’ll mid february :slight_smile:

@anonymous522083 1450 SAT (1480 superscore), 32 ACT (33 superscore)

@anonymous522083 ACT 34 (superscore 35)

Are invitations sent on a rolling basis? Or are they sent all at once?
