<p>Just got an email from Rice - waitlisted. :( 2240 SAT, 3.9 UW/4.5 W, decent (but not great) extracurricular. Honestly, I was actually expecting an outright rejection so I'm not too disappointed.</p>
<p>Anways, Rice says they received more than 15,125 applications for 935 spaces. I have no idea how many they admitted. Does anyone know what the waitlist stats have been in the past?</p>
<p>wondering the same thing!</p>
<p>Because Rice over-enrolled last year, I suspect the university was cautious sbout admitting too many students this year, and thus, it might actually pull a few more students from the waiting list if it comes short of its yield. However, I doubt Rice’s yield will fall short, and all of this is mere speculation.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted as well. Feels pretty bad to know I was close but not close enough. Oh well, here’s to hoping it all works out. Good luck to everyone else on the waitlist.</p>
<p>D was waitlisted a couple years ago. She is a soph at Rice and loves it. We ended up dropping by Rice Univ on our way to Tulane. She accepted Tulane and then found out she was accepted to Rice a few weeks later. It is definitely worth a try and it does not hurt to accept the waitlist. You never know.</p>
<p>From 2010-2011 Common Data Set:</p>
<p>Number of qualified applicants offered a placed on waiting list: 2521
Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 1444
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 131
Is your waiting list ranked? No</p>
<p>As a current Rice freshman, I definitely agree that our class was over-enrolled, and the university can’t afford to do that again. I would not be surprised if they lean heavily on the waitlist this year so they can really control exactly how many they admit.</p>
<p>From my school, 6 (3 ED) kids have been admitted to Rice, 3 (me + 2 others) have been wait listed. Surprisingly, we live 30 min from the school. </p>
<p>I’m not counting on admission any time soon, but it does seem like the other 3 kids might decline rice for whatever reason. So I mean there will be people who go to other places, but not much to hope for.</p>
<p>I’d wager that they’ll take more off the waitlist this year than in previous years. As noted above, they can’t over-enroll again.</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Rice, Rejected at Northwestern
Do I have a chance for any ivys? Brown is my dream school…</p>
<p>ahh i hope this waitlist doesn’t foreshadow all bad news on the 29th! but good luck to all of you on the waitlist as well. i don’t see a point in not accepting a spot on the waitlist</p>
