Received an invitation to Vision yesterday! Honestly can’t believe it and I wasn’t even going to begin to watch out for the email until another two weeks or so! Curious if anyone else received an invite yet. Are you planning on going? I definitely am!
Did they email you your invitation to VISION? My invitation (at least I think it’s an invitation) only appears on the Application Status portal so I’m curious
Yeah, I received an email but it also shows up on the Application Status portal. @ReferToMeByName
I received an invitation as well, however with such a crazy second semester I’m not sure if I’ll be able to attend - but I sure will try! I’ve heard conflicting thoughts - does invitation to this program serve as a good sign?
@bwulv24 my son attended last year and did receive admission. @ReferToMeByName where is it on the app portal? On the main page?
Just received my invite! Do you guys think they really have had time to review our applications?
“The Admission Committee is still reviewing Regular Decision applications, and your invitation to VISION is not an offer of admission. However, you were specifically selected to attend this program because our preliminary review led us to believe that you could be a great match for Rice.” I’m loving the vagueness!
So, from past Vision participants or anyone in general, do you think taking the trip to Vision is worth it? I’m really interested in Rice and I loved the campus when I visited, but I’m definitely not the most outgoing guy.
What is VISION? How to access the portal?
@bwulv24 My sister went two years ago and loved it. And past threads about VISION indicate that it’s a blast. And it’s free! I’d take the opportunity to go.
I got an invitation! It’s funny; I almost didn’t apply to Rice because I was sure I would be rejected. I never imagined that I’d get invited to something like this. 
What does the invitation look like
And when did you guys receive it
I went for Rice’s smaller program SOAR and I had a blast! It’s a beautiful campus and super nice people so take advantage of it. I was hoping I would get invited again but I knew it would be too good to be true :))
So VISION starts in just a couple of days! Anyone else excited??
@bwulv24 Yes, I’m super excited! I’m flying out tomorrow morning!
