So now I wait.

Colleges & Universities A-Z Rice University
21

<p>The interview is just to make sure you aren’t insane… haha</p>

<p>But regardless, good luck everyone!</p>

22

<p>Uh not quite.
The super quiet nerd at my school turned into a crazy party girl when she went to Rice :P</p>

23

<p>I applied to Rice RD. I’m from London (but a U.S. citizen, born in Houston). I had a really good interview with a cool alum. Its still scary waiting till like April though. It just takes soooo long!!</p>

24

<p>So it’s harder to get in if your from Texas, and the kid from Hawaii gets a boost. Where would Mississippi fall into all this? I’ve heard it can help a little at top schools, but Rice is a lot closer to Mississippi than IvyStanMIT, so they probably get a fair number of applicants from MS right?</p>

25

<p>I wonder if being from Georgia helps</p>

26

<p>finally sent it in a couple minutes ago…hopefully being from florida will help!</p>

27

<p>Ah… Finally, the supp’s done! </p>

<p>Now, for the waiting :S I would love to attend Rice!</p>

<p>I wonder if being from Norway will help :P</p>

28

<p>Procrastination! Not the best time…</p>

29

<p>Does being Chinese-Canadian help? :D</p>

<p>Btw, I submitted my application at like 12:03am last night - will they still see it??</p>

30

<p>done everything but interview…</p>

31

<p>ts hard for “texas” kids because Rice wants diversity and better recognition (many still don’t know where Rice is :P)</p>

<p>I think the hardest region is Houston. Even though they say they admit 25% solely from Houston, a ton are applying so…</p>

<p>yeah. >.></p>

<p>Rice has denied overqualified applicants from Texas for mediocre applicants from out of state before.
It’ll happen again.</p>

32

<p>I am from PA and I just mapquested it…24 hour drive baby! However when I checked the stats it says that only 10 people were accepted from PA. I hope it is due to a lack of applicant from the sate, but I’m pretty sure hundreds apply from PA. Also I guess having a Sri Lankan heritage helps. For those of you that do not where Sri Lanka is, it is a small tropical island just south of India. All in all I really hope to be attending Rice in the fall.</p>

33

<p>Bonuses from being in Houston-
Easy to visit Rice
Easy to get to interview
Tons of alumni for when the on campus interview was full (my case)</p>

<p>Cons-
Drops chances…a lot :(</p>

<p>Especially being a white male…I ran into a friend of mine applying to Rice at the post office today when i went to turn stuff in.</p>

34

<p>seriously right!?
I wished I lived in AZ or CO :P</p>

35

<p>or Oregon lol
and uh does anyone have a clue when i have to send my Test scores in?</p>

36

<p>But if you lived there are you sure you would still hold Rice in such high esteem? I mean, how much would you really know about it. That’s why students who do apply from those places have a tiny edge. They’re in the minority for recognizing Rice’s prestige.</p>

37

<p>I’m from Colorado ;)</p>

38

<p>Since applications are over, what did you put for your signature page? o_o
this is mine. <a href=“http://i26.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/albums/c150/lxDynastyzxl/DSC00169.jpg[/url]”>http://i26.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/albums/c150/lxDynastyzxl/DSC00169.jpg&lt;/a&gt;
Each thing represents something from my essays :D</p>

39

<p>It said to fill the box with something that appealed to me, so i put a picture of a Waffle House. You northerners that have never seen a waffle house haven’t lived. If I meet any of you on campus, we’ll find one and I’ll buy you a bacon texas cheesesteak with smothered hashbrowns.</p>
