<p>I got accepted from the waitlist this afternoon...right after I convinced myself USC was the school for me and right after I made my deposit! What are they doing to me!?</p>
<p>anyways, did anyone hear back recently from the waitlist?</p>
<p>do waitlist-accepted students still get to attend an "owl-weekend" kind of thing?</p>
<p>do we even get acceptance letters?</p>
<p>you do get letters. I remmeber getting mine in dang near june--right after getting back from the school I'm currently going to's orientation, haha</p>
<p>Someone from Rice called me two days ago and told me I was accepted. She said that I will receive letters, but she also faxed all the required papers so that I can mail them before the deadline.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all accepted waitlistees!</p>
<p>ccbouncer & scarecrow,
congrats on your acceptances! i'm a fellow waitlisted candidate at rice and was just wondering if either of you were given priority consideration?</p>
<p>and, have either of you made up your mind about going?</p>
<p>thanks guys.</p>
<p>YES to both questions. Goodbye to UT and Dartmouth, farewell to hours of headache.</p>
<p>Good luck to you, zmcklein.</p>
<p>thank you! i don't know if i was under 'priority' or anything... I know that they knew I was dying to go to Rice (from several letters, counselor rec, and alumni interviewer). </p>
<p>They called me on my cell phone on Friday, and since I wasn't home I couldn't get the documents/finaid faxed over. If the finaid is decent, then Rice it is! </p>
<p>good luck to you zmcklein! I hope you hear back soon!</p>
<p>that's so cool, getting a call from an admissions officer. i sure hope i get one.
I guess they didn't really mean the part of the letter when they said they were gonna review the entire group of waitlisted candidates after may 1? or perhaps they meant just those who were on the priority WL?</p>
<p>this whole waiting process is a pain... acceptance or not, i just wanna know ASAP so i can get over it and move on before things like prom and graduation come around.</p>
<p>i sent a letter and another rec, i hope it's enough. oh well. still got my fingers crossed.</p>
