<p>congrats both of you !</p>

<p>Thanks : )</p>
<p>Now for a whole month of deliberation...</p>
<p>argh : (</p>
<p>Admission Status: Admit.</p>
<p>I'm in Plan II at UT right now.</p>
<p>OMG I'M SO EXCITED RICE IS MY DREAM SCHOOL!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO</p>
<p>Also, I heard something like half of admitted transfer students don't enroll. Maybe people just get too settled in....</p>
<p>1/2 of admitted freshman students don't enroll, either...</p>
<p>...now all we need is housing.</p>
<p>congrats to all of you! all of the transfers i've met ended up on campus their first yr....so you guys probably have a better chance than you would think. i'm gonna try to get off the dang waitlist gosh dangit! what do you guys think about sending in extra recs and a letter?</p>

</p>
<p>You should do that.</p>
<p>The problem is that I have absolutely no waitlist experience. It has either been acceptances or rejections for me.</p>
<p>i met a cornell transfer when i was at rice, apparently some people do that. Rice is awesome. the weather rules. beautiful campus. nice people.</p>
<p>i'm really surprised that there are this many Cornell transfers or people that turned down Cornell admission. </p>
<p>but it looks like it is Rice for me! I'm in the process of convincing my parents and plan to send in the forms Monday.</p>
<p>i hear it was easier to get into cornell this year than rice.</p>
<p>I am at the moment vacillating between UChicago and Rice.</p>
<p>to nspeds, it would seem to me that the core at chicago is a big deal (schedule freedom being the point). although there are distribition requirements, you can fulfill the majority easily within the phil dept alone. personally if i went to u of c junior year i would have to do all this stuff that is introductory and mandatory, which is not what rice is like at all. perhaps this is something to consider?</p>

<p>yup, I'm one of them...I turned down Cornell and am going to be a freshman at Rice next year. :) I just liked the lively, friendly environment at Rice/Houston better, and the students seemed happier. Plus, money factors (I didn't get any aid/scholarship anywhere)...Rice is just naturally cheaper.</p>
