i just thought that rice wouldn’t want to have too many students in their class from tx
guess it doesnt rly matter
tbh it might just be more applicants from tx -> more admits
instead of preference
theres def way more tx applicants than others so
Yeah cause rice is “known” but not really “known” but in TX EVERY high achieving student applies to Rice
What time do results release?
6 et
Thanks
Rice rice rice rice

senior interviews are more important than alum interviews
anyone else apply business to rice OOS?
and also did their app the day it was due LOL
Yep!
thank you sm :))
did you get any merit?
Why?
My senior interview was so bad lmao
It was my first interview and everything so i had no idea what i was doing
yeah same
I didnt even have a why rice answer
no lol I was deferred ea and then got in rd
i winged it
it was okay, i dont think anything bad is in that report, but nothing thatll sway my decision prob
Yea same
@quartz spire @fierce cove alum interviews are on a volunteer basis. rice pays senior interviewers to actually give feedback on prospectives
well that's a choice
I sont think that has much to do with importance rather than like a lack of alumni volunteers
i forgot you know my school better than me. sorry
damn, you gonna pay 91k?
Oh wait i didnt know u actually went to rice my bad lol
Rice rice rice rice🥹🙏🔥
I'm not sure, I have some outside scholarships in the works so let's see
What time does rice come out tom
3 pst
!chance rice
How is everyone feelin
Not too hopeful about rice but let's see
i mean u got into usc lol
u should be confident
rice rice rice rice
my school has never really had a rice admit
much more hopeful about berk or mich cause we have people going there every year
nope int'
oh that tough
whens rice coming out
6 et
damn
3:30 am for me 😭
No astrology pls
Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?
the things i would do to be admitted by rice
i am prob on a list now
screenshotted and sent to rice
lol
Same
well
rice rice rice rice
combined those two have 8x more undergrads than rice
so i wouldnt necessarily say rice has some disliking for your school
yep not saying they dislike us just never seen anyone go
yeah gotcha
prob people from your school just not as interested or dont fit the profile rice needs for some reason
abny1 know the rice rd accpetnace rate
jeezuz
rice rice rice rice
This is highher than I thought
crazy how only 1/3 ends up matriculating to rice
yep possibly
44% yield
unless u mean just rd
yea rd
in which case other colleges are lower than the number reported too
44% is like admittedly pretty bad for a t20
yield wise
but 33% would be like awful ig for a t20
theyd start going full uchicago
my horoscope today with a picture of a bowl of rice???
suddenly i believe in astrology
Rice.
Aye don’t say that word
U might get banned 😱
I’m always watching

"YES I GOT IN!"
like at 8 am in the moprning
dream 1: accepted to MIT (didnt end up happening)
dream 2: likely letter to a t20 (was literally a premonition lol it happened idk man)
dream 3: accepted to Stanford (???)
Maybe
Carnegie Mellon and Cincinnati conservatory of music
i dead ass had a dream i got into rice
but the acceptance letter was in german
so i sat there for 30 mins figuring out if i got in or not
Omg congrats on cmu!
Tysm!
idk it was one of those where i got up for the day went back to sleep and actually got up 30 mins later

Rooting for everyone! 🍚
DAMN
I hope I get reject for +1 spot for someone else
Noble goal
my mom doesnt want me to withdraw from places though and I only got in places last 2 weeks or so so I didnt withdraw
my rice picture
I fr need this I’ve been dreaming about rice since I was in 7th grade
got in RD on 24th
until 11th
interesting I must say
Nice nice
Ada Lovelace
what major?
my rice box was me playing guitar with my friends
Yeah
I love northwestern's campus so much
dream campus ngl
French horn performance
LOL
Rice horn studio has put out the most successful alumni of any music school in the US
ayo whatsrice's stats acceptence rate
i'm a very average GPA (lowkey bad), with pretty solid ecs and LOR
us
my gpa is mid
ECs and essays carry
nah bro if u got into USC ur gpa is atleast 3.8+
like mines isn't that high
when I mean mid i mean middddddddddd
i'm not sure since i'm on the international scale
oh
what is it then
but it's def not high
Sure if ur comfortable
ecs r good tho, 17 awards, cuople internships, lots of orgs
Goddamn
My mid-year grades are low key abhorrent
I have 5 awards
and 1 of them is AP scholar
and 1 is not even academic but I stuck it there cus fuck it
AP Scholar, the most prestegious award
I've got okay awards
My #1 award is good asf
#2-5
are 100% irrelevant
so
idk how that works out
but yaeh
ye i'm on either end of the spectrum tbh
like i'm pretty confident I could safely get into IVs with my non GPA stuff but i'm cursed to ucsc w/ my GPA
we'll c tho
Rice gotta clutch for me
I only applied to two UCs
ok wait the ruce box rly doesnt matter rt
should have done San diego too
i kinda trolled cuz i didnt think it did
I got waitlisted from ucla
but some ppl put hella impressive shit
as long as it wasn't offensive you're good
a french baguatee
rice box is prolly just a way to show more personality
i put a soap carving i did in 9th grade
W
W
but it was for fun
that's pretty good
and it looks like shrek an owl and other animals had a child
demonstrated interest right there
!chance Rice
!Rice
I put up a photo of my mom and i with pizza which resembled this meme
Happy banner change!
Rice
Are you an international student?
Do you guys think a 3.8 cumulative gpa is possible for Rice?
yeah what 💀 it’s holistic tho so don’t ask that without more information
I know it’s holistic and Ik they also look at race, school rankings (if any), and class level, but i scoured the internet and they mostly say that the average for Rice is like a 3.9+
I got rejected from a lot of schools with a 3.8 so it’s not like I’m asking out of ignorance
well it literally depends on ur major and ur essays and shit every school is different
I also have a 3.8 but I have pretty good testing and ecs
but I’m still getting rejected and waitlisted everywhere
!chance rice
I didn’t submit my scores but I think I wrote good essays and that my extracurriculars are really strong
!chance rice
Definitely an up bill battle there but only way to find out is to open the decision in 9 hours 😆
yeah i agree that it’ll be uphill especially without scores but i wouldn’t say it’s impossible by any means. wishing the best of luck to you!
RICE LET ME INNNN
🥹🙏
of course we all will get rice right
5 pm
after all it comes from our farm
🙏
🙏🙏🙏
R + I + C + E = RICE
I should get extra consideration on my application since my username is rice
im a rice farmer lemme in
I own a restaurant and all I have been serving is rice, that should count as demonstrated interest
good luck everyone 🍚
I rizzed up the head of the chemistry department at rice they should admit me
Thank you! I think I’ll probably just go to University of Richmond
Rice
today's the big day
Indeed
rice rice rice rice
ooo rice moment
i love rice i love rice i love rice 🍚 🍚
its not gonna be out for me yet but wish yall luck 👍
would you go rice over chi?
i dont dislike it by any means
but rice is my #2
i love rice sm
TEXAS PLEASE LET ME IN
RAHHHHH 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
SO TRUE!!!!
rice best school let me in
Today's the day!
my bspwm rice should be an autoadmit
America!! Patriotism!! Guns!! Dying in wars!! Texas!! Buc-ees!! HEB!! Texas woooo!!
RICE RICE RICE RICE
God I’m so nervous
Bspwm?
has anyone tested the informed delivery theory
What
i was looking through my portal and i didnt know i was missing finacial aid stuff 💀
it's too late isnt it
you can see packages that are being sent to you and ppl said rice sends their acceptances a few days before decision date
Oh lmfao
window manager on linux
https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/
we all will get in
why not
I have a near perfect academic record + perfect test scores but my ECs are kind of below average for applicants and my essays are maybe 7-8/10
I had an interview and the person who interviewed me said they would write me a glowing recommendation but that shit will not be enough
we shall see, you should be fine
I showed interest by touring and attending some info session
I think the ECs will screw me over
i'm on a 9 uni rejection streak what are the odds rice will be the 10th
0% u got this lil bro
i don't mean to be that guy, but once again chancemes are somewhat pointless
Yeah
Im just stressed as hell and will take any support I can get
you too
I’ve only been rejected from 2 of my top 5 schools (the other 3 haven’t come in yet 🫠)
I have an incredibly solid backup though
I’m sure that I’ll get into one of my top choices because admissions process is completely random
My thing is that I got into a 10% acceptance rate school with rlly good merit aid but that WAS ea
That means nothing though because I got rejected from a 13% school
My rice box is pretty creative
independent events
it means a lot
Yeah it’s just so dumb
For demonstrated interest I think I’m good and I also think that my ECs match up with what I put in my Why Us essay
Rice
I think I’m one of the best applicants in my state
Rice
Please just sleep and check when you wake up if that wasn’t your plan already
When do decisions come out
Today is the day
Indeed
5:00 right
5pm CDT today
technically they said after 5 pm ct so it could be later
Acceptance for sure
UVA also said “after” and they released right on time
guys chance me!!!!😍😍
i know different schools but chances are its the exact time
Auto admit
They should accept all of us for showing demonstrated interest here
Honestly? Yeah
ya i had that
So true
This entire thread deserves instant admission for chanting Rice daily
Realistically out of the 200 of us on here <20 of us get in
Yeah 
I’ll be honest, if I get in, it’s gonna be my essays. My academics: 💀
It’s gonna be someone who hasn’t talked in here since December
I’ll be honest, if I get in, it’s gonna be my academics. My extracurriculars: 💀
Well I’m pretty sure everything is decided, unless they are scrambling looking at people who are on the edge before 5pm CDT
My essays are somewhere in the middle
But anyway all of us should’ve been decided
my interest is like 8/10, so are my essays, 10/10 academics and like 6/10 ECS 😭
If we get in we should do a face reveal irl🤓
Another university mentioned my essay was great in their acceptance letter so I’m hoping Rice will think the same
Wait you get personalized acceptance letters?
Yeah apparently my essay was really good so the admissions committee wrote about how great my essay was
Case?
?
Where at
SMU
Oh nvm
Ahhh
LMAO
Super Mario university
Well tbh I think it’s nice to hear that from them either way
Honestly I think the essays carry the same weight as grades
At these holistic review schools
They say everything counts the same
It’s more like they look at the bigger picture
I have 1 really good essay, 1 mid one, and 1 that’s pretty solid iirc
I think my Why Major essay for Rice was the worst
150 words is tough to fit why you personally want to study it and what you want to do at Rice with that major
Yeah I think my Why Rice and life perspectives is really good
My personal statement was reviewed by a published author and a former Princeton AO and they called it great
RICE LET ME IN 🤝 
If I get into Rice I’m gonna write a Thank You letter to my friend who I wrote about in my life perspectives essay
If I get in I’m actually sending like a thank you package to my interviewer
I didn’t do any interviews unfortunately
I applied like priority interview deadline so
However I did tour and attend info sessions
Me too
Being out of state will also screw me
“36% of admissions are from Texas” come on man
I think me scouring Rice’s website to every edge helped show my demonstrated interest
I didn’t do that
how many applicants are from texas though
I don't think being in Texas really matters
I don’t think so because they want diversity so everyone from everywhere
Well yeah 50% of people admitted are out of state
being from texas might actually hurt because so many applicants are from there
You guys think Rice broke another record or is it lower this year for application numbers?
Probably record
Prayer 🙏 Circle
Less than 6 hours…
Nah I think it helps since Texas kids help their yield since they know ur more likely to choose them
Also I think statistically Cali students the strongest so if they takin more Texans that prob means they prefer them
bay area -_-
!chance rice
!chance rice
Prayers up for everyone
how'd u know!
wild guess
bro rice is like my favorite food or something idk
RICE LET ME IN
RICE LET ME IN
mmmm
Rice.
does anyone see withdraw button on their portal
I’m not checking my damn portal until decision
LMAOO
No portal astrology, no frantic refreshing
rice rice rice rice
Just rice
Rice
Rice rice rice
hello I am a bad boy
RICE...GIVE ME RICE
There was an interview? 💀
Rice
Rice'27
Rice owls
Sammy the owl
After my rice acceptance, I'll withdraw my apps from ivies
will you actually?
what time are decisions comings out
that's a committed lady if i've ever seen one 😳
I'll post my withdraw confirmation mails here
damn
Indian 3.30 am
5 pm CST
Rice is my top choice
Rice >>>>> ivies
Dang

My tops are Princeton>rice>brown
And those are very small differences
I’d have to actually spend hours thinking about Princeton vs rice if I got in
fair
dude, if you get into P
you go P
Yeah I feel like I have to if I get in
brown vs rice would be harder
ykwim
that i don't know
i would debate it too
but i think i'd probably choose brown
I could attend both and say I really like brown rice 🔥🔥🔥
sheesh 🔥
curry rice
Jasmine rice is the best I will say
Hawaiian universities
indian gang gang
Brown campus was hella mid
i love RI
really?
Rice campus was amazing
never visited
I almost didn’t apply to brown but the waiter at the restaurant I went to when I toured told me that what I thought was a flaw for me could acc benefit me
to me atleast
Based
It was the first one I visited and like
yoo
sheesh
top 3 campuses
what's up
if I get in I’m going back to the restaurant and giving the waiter all of my money
isn't it like 5 square feet
based
waitlists and rejections
😭
might as well go to Boston or NYC
us
u can walk across the whole state in like half a day im not even joking
is it close to the beach
if so it would be SICK
also i just wanna go to somewhere warm for once
i think it's gone for everyone
same here but we should avoid portal astrology
whats set is done
we'll find out in 4 hours
... 4 hours
yes
what time does it come out?
in 4 hours
ty
🙏
i like how the rice thread is just people spamming rice and begging
rice please let me in 🙏
cant wait to be
ejected

I know for a fact I’m getting rejected
If I get in I'll shave my head and upload a picture
Plot twist: he’s bald
samesies
i’ll be fine tho i don’t wanna get hatecrimed anyway☝️

wait what happened

I can't judge exactly, but it for sure does matter
We can hope together
I’m gonna be upset when I get rejected
im emailing them with a picture of my ut merch if i get rejected
rice lame asf ut on top 🥱
I think rice is the only school I’m gonna be sad if I get rejected😭😭
im afraid an ao is watching and changing my decision as i speak
Me too
If any AOs are watching rice is the best school ever
if they are not it is still one of the best schools
But that was like 2 yrs ago. Did you submit your score?
are rice kids kind and clever though?
Yes
I’m eating rice today
They can see whether you open their emails and watch the videos, which is demonstrated interest
There’s no way that’s true. Can they see how many times I’ve opened the same email? 😂
ALL EMAILS
Well the link part is definitely true, its part of how they send the email. I’m not 100% on the opening emails part, only 90%
Yeah I've opened every email, read everything, watch every video, and clicked on links
I opened the portal immediately when I received the email
6pm et right?
I attended like 20 of their sessions, in person campus tour, kept in touch with their head of chemistry, doing research with their student rn, our schools alumni, visited the BRC (restricted access), wrote super specific about rice in my essays, talked with my AO when she visited
Damn
What the hell
holy shit bro u getting in
But, I wrote Columbia in their essay
I did like a decent amount of DI not that much
woah
It’s a deal breaker
you really love rice huh
DUDE…
Yikes
DUDE
WHAT??
you threw it away 💀
Dumbass
It was an accident, I didn’t even copy and paste
columbia sounds nothing like rice bro 😭
Bag fumble
And you didn’t read it over
No double checking?
I had a really good interview and toured and attended info sessions
but that’s it
I did but I missed it
im
Damn.
They do have a rice columbia program lol
I think my DI is good enough… right
how do you write columbia instead of rice they're nothing alike
Maybe I’ll get in off a whim they missed it like me LO”
Because my essays were solid
3 more hours and some
Other than Columbia
Rice box
I know but it’s not close enough
Lunch
Bro I’m lifting rn and haven’t ate 💀
Same lol
Bruh
what time does rice come out
In 3 Hours
oh shit fr
Both painfully long and too short
Why couldn’t they be CMU and just release early morning
lmao
Or Wisco and just don’t announce
Well on a positive note they may be looking at people’s apps again last minute
Its a pleasant surprise
i really wish it were like that coz my decision will come out at 3 30 am 💀
Oof
Wait
3:30?
Am I missing some obvious time zone context?
Isn’t it a whole hour?
ok stevo youre cool
Bro
A yo
??!??
Bruhhhh
The trolls
Man’s had us all
Where u at riceeee
what the fuck
wtf
Either way I hope you get in
87%
and open like 3 emails
You put a lot of effort to demonstrate interest
and yeah
I hope so lol but it’s unlikely
please take me
Hey it’s better than nothing
so it comes out 6pm EST ?
wait ive opened all their emails
Be honest I def did not get in
I know people who don’t open their portals and check emails at all
like i have 30 emails from rice maybe
They track everything
since last year fall
bro ur presenting research to rice cehemistry heads
u get in fs
Oh, I visited in 2021 end lol
i live in tx and i dint even visit rice 😭
But they did note down my name
at the end of 2021 i didnt even bother w college apps
I live in Oklahoma lol
u crazy
We wanted to go rice cause my friend goes there and gave me a tour of the Chem BRC lab which I wouldn’t get to see otherwise, and then also combined it with seaworld
damnn
@meager trout chill bro you definitely gonna get in
man im so fucked for rice
But Columbia
my best rd result so far is a waitlist washu 😭
That is a deal breaker I think
Y’all def have better stats and ecs then me
my midyear was ass i think thats what changed from ea to rd to go from acceptances to nothing
Idk if mine is Grinnell acceptance but can’t afford or JHU waitlist
rice i love you
ill come to rice over UT take me please

^
Tell that to Berkely
Has there even been any astrology this year
Or USC

Gtech did not have astrology people were fucking about on oscar and thought they found something but it was literally like a canva folder
☠️☠️☠️
williams USPS informed delivery worked LOLL

Depression
There was astrology there?

Nice
idt theres any for rice tho
That was so jank, but my offer was just Cope
brown literally clearedd portal

Maybe the ACT will save me
all i got is a 1500
😭
1 hour and 40 minutes left
I got a 35, so I think that qualifies me for every ACT scholarship
real
🎉🎉
this is def not true right
Take anything they say with a fat grain of salt they're insane
yeah its not true
Lmfao the astrology is insane
Portal astrology is not as good as mere patience
And FA and admissions work separately
Less than 2 hours guys chill
Patience young ones
ok good lol i still checked mine even though i knew it was gonna be cap
Wait this is so exciting
the secret to solving portal astrology is to time travel
We're an hour and thirty minutes away :>>
We’re almost there
I got into the The George Washington University 😊
I’m a little happy today no matter what come with Rice
Nice, unfortunately I got waitlisted by GWU but it’s better than a rejection
I’m happy no matter the result today, but if I get accepted today I have to make an actual choice 🥲
How far are you from Rice
About to reread mine as a coping mechanism
Calm
Do anything else
nah fr
good for you man
Omg sameee. My family doesn’t want me going there at all. University of Richmond is the only prestigious school I’m willing to go that has a distance my family likes. They hate Rice but it’s literally for it’s distance but it’s amazing
my rice essays were like mid mid and amazing
My parents really love rice lol, despite it being far
Do you guys know any transportation grants or flight scholarships?
an 18 hour flight for me ✨
Writing is such a funny thing. Like you’ll love it in the monent and look back and literally HATE the essay you wrote
Right? Like
That is why I never open my essays again I submit
Let them die in Google drive
I want to get in today but I know I won’t 😢
Looking back my rice box was so stupid 💀
I should have tried to tie it into my application better
Samee
you didnt submit a photo of actual rice right ?
I showed a picture of debate medals and debate flows and I’m wondering if that’s pretentious
No LOL
youre good then
I submitted a picture of Alhambra in spain
as far as i read online it doesnt really matter
it just shows your personality
and adds a fun element
as long as it's not actual rice youre okay
I shoulda done anything else 💀
i mean i literally submitted my mom and i recreating a meme
Rice
