<p>OMG I GOT IN!!!!! I did not expect to find out tonight at all. OMG, I was ready to take a nap when I checked my email nonchalantly and SCREAMED when I saw "Congratulations" in the headline! Needless to say, I'm wide awake now. If you saw my stats, you'd think "rejected everywhere." Never did I think I'd actually get into one school I applied to, let alone two (the other is WashU). I'm SO SO HAPPY!!!!!!</p>

<p>Dear XXXX,</p>

<p>It is my privilege to inform you that your application for admission to Rice University has been approved. The Committee on Admission invites you to complete arrangements for entering the University in January 2008.</p>

<p>Rice is fortunate in receiving applications from a great many students of unusual promise. Selecting from so many qualified candidates was a difficult task. Admission has been offered to a select few, like you, whose scholastic accomplishments and contributions to school, community, and family were significant.</p>

<p>Transfer students must be registered in residence at Rice for at least four full semesters and must complete no less than sixty semester hours. Personal misconduct and academic decline in the 2007 fall term are reasons to rescind your offer of admission.</p>

<p>Your hard copy admission packet was mailed November 16, 2007. To accept this offer of admission, submit your enrollment deposit by December 3, 2007. </p>

<p>(Payment instructions)</p>

<p>We urge you to read carefully all of the information in your admission packet and to follow the procedures required for your matriculation.</p>

<p>After we receive your deposit, The Office of the Dean of Undergraduates will send your residential college assignment. Transfer Orientation is January 3 & 4, 2008.</p>

<p>Congratulations for the personal and intellectual achievements that led to your acceptance to Rice. If we can be of further assistance to you, do not hesitate to let us know.</p>

<p>Yours sincerely,</p>

<p>Julie M. Browning
Dean for Undergraduate Enrollment"</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>I'm transferring from a nationally ranked second-tier private university... that's all I'm saying :)</p>

<p>I also got in for spring semester...now I have to decide if I want to stay at the University of Chicago or come to Rice (I'm a native Houstonian).</p>

7

<p>congratulations!! rice is a wonderful school and im sure your gonna be very happy there.</p>

8

<p>yay, congrats! Im sure you will love it here!</p>

9

<p>sweet.. what college you at?</p>

10

<p>Do you know what your housing situation is going to be like? I am considering transferring for the fall semester and I am curious as to where they stick their transfer students (if anywhere at all).</p>

11

<p>Transfer students normally get Housing for their first year for sure. Im pretty sure Transfers are housed on campus like freshmen.</p>

12

<p>Not true. Transfer students are by no means guaranteed housing. That said, they are usually shuffled around so that as many as possible can have housing. One of my friends was originally placed in Wiess, but they had no housing for guys. He got on the transfer student housing waiting list (or something like that), and he ended up trading places with a girl at Will Rice, where they had no extra spaces for girls.</p>

<p>Transfer students are not usually housed with freshmen; they're placed in empty spaces in upperclassman suites.</p>

13

<p>true... but my point is I believe you will get a space guaranteed for your first yera.... The college may be different, but you will get a space</p>

14

<p>guaranteed is not the same as very likely?</p>

15

<p>But you're not guaranteed housing your first year as a transfer...you're just very likely to get it.</p>

<p>There were facebook groups devoted to transfers trying to find off-campus housing together. I think this year that almost all transfers who wanted on-campus housing got it, but you're still not guaranteed.</p>

16

<p>hey guys, who's definitely enrolling? The enrollment deposit deadline is tomorrow...</p>

<p>I'm still undecided. Rice will be more expensive than my other option.</p>

<p>You should come to Rice. It's AMAZING.</p>
