I hope Rice those that attended VISION had a great time at Rice.
It was amazing, thanks! @Houston1021
Congrats to everyone that was invited, and to those who attended I hope you had fun. VISION is a guarantee of admission, and a good number of the people who attended (myself included) also received a merit based scholarship from Rice (25k+).
Hi, D did not get invited to VISION, but had attended SOAR in September. We just did admitted students day earlier this week. @MaybeHarvard2022 The merit scholarship is not quite as generous, but I don’t know if this is related to the new Financial initiatives. We are pretty close to full pay, so unfortunately either a small bump or an outside scholarship will have to come through to justify Comp Sci at Rice.
@peachActuary73 remember outside scholarships don’t “stack”. So if you get any aid from the school and get an outside scholarship it applies to the aid first, then whatever is left over is applied to your acct.
@malibugirl I’m pretty sure that applies to financial aid, not merit scholarships.
edited to add, we are eligible for a miniscule amount of aid. No complaints, though. I was a program kid. I guess the program worked.
