Rice University (2025-2026)

[open violet]

chloe, we work in education. none of us are paid enough to coordinate a whole ass summer trip lol

[lucid grove]

Omg nooo I love travel planning I tried to plan a 10 person trip once and yes it blew up in my face but it’s only bc the other people refused to answer basic questions like what food they wanted to eat or types of places they wanted to go and then got upset when nothing was planed after they didn’t respond 🥀

[open violet]

i may need to consult with you for my college roomies' potential future trip then

[trail haven]

[olive ingot]

[nocturne gazelle]

student run business lol reminds me of interview prep

[dry tide]

cc + transfer ? 👀

[nocturne gazelle]

Wait would you mind dming your 500 word essay I just need to see someone else's to see if I'm not delusional

😭✌️💔

[dry tide]

no wait dont yall have RD lol

[nocturne gazelle]

Uhhhhh nah

[nocturne gazelle]

Yeah

[dry tide]

2 chances

[still canyon]

did you apply ed

[olive ingot]

only if defer

[dry tide]

they can reject ED??

[still canyon]

rejection is also a very real possibility

[dry tide]

not js defer?

[still canyon]

most schools do

[dry tide]

i didn't know that

[still canyon]

ik USC only defers

EA*

[nocturne gazelle]

😭💔 yes I'm just worried

[dry tide]

i heard a story of a girl that accidentally pasted a really angry text message to her friends in place of her CAPS (she wrote the whole essay but just human error), didn't check before submitting and submitted it to like 20 unis (got rejected from every single one) and had no safeties
if that makes u feel better

[unique loom]

which one's your favorite :3

[still canyon]

i like baker but all of them seem cool except sid rich

[unique loom]

HELL YEAH

[olive ingot]

christmas tree :DDDD

[unique loom]

(I say, as a bakerite) fuck sid rich more like mid rich

[still canyon]

wait thats such a coincidenceeee

[nocturne gazelle]

I'm happy I have the UK as backup if I get rejected from that might as well have to jump 💔🫩✌️🥺

[still canyon]

mine sucks ass if that makes you feel better

[still canyon]

i will be Jumping.

[olive ingot]

wait dont they have like diff expectations for essays between ed and rd

or am i delusional

[still canyon]

marginally

they know your writing will get stronger, but they also assume your ED essays to be really fucking good considering they're your top choice

[dry tide]

whys there so many little things

[still canyon]

enjoy your youth 🥺

[olive ingot]

thats why its scary 😭😭

like wdym my entire childhood leads up to this

[nocturne gazelle]

Nah fam I've seen truly horrendous generic essays from ivy league kids the fact that your ed applying to rice alr means you have taste 😭🫠

[dry tide]

what % of applicants to t20 schools do yall think ACTUALLY had/have a chance at the schools js wondering
like for example some ppl apply to harvard or mit as like a "u never know!!"

[still canyon]

no mine is like abominally horrific

[still canyon]

i am one of those people
also just like use acceptance rates idk dont read tm into it

[olive ingot]

i dont think we can tell tbh 😭😭

[dry tide]

Rice is kinda niche to the general public i think so they know u aint js going to the top ranked school on us news and applying there lol

[still canyon]

i have like shit ecs what am i doing

[olive ingot]

i keep seeing rice pop up on chanceme and a2c

[still canyon]

"niche to the general public" 🥀

[olive ingot]

i think rice is like becoming more and more popular

[dry tide]

it is tho

[nocturne gazelle]

Hmm id say I had a better chance at U chicago and that's t10 lol

[still canyon]

its good to think about your future but like chill bro

[dry tide]

except in tx but even then ive lived in tx my whole life and just realized how good rice is a few months ago

[dry tide]

ik i js chat here for fun rn i dont chat here too often

[olive ingot]

but still theres only like 10 of us who talk here (like 40 total)

[nocturne gazelle]

Yeah and I've mentioned Houston family so lol

[still canyon]

columbia and brown ED acceptance rates are higher than rice 😭

[dry tide]

yea

[olive ingot]

r applicant counts similar?

also columbia and brown accept way more right (in terms of total students)

[dry tide]

acceptance rates r dumb its 50 50 either u get it or u dont ❓ ❓

[nocturne gazelle]

Alr but realistically Harvard is the rice of the north

[still canyon]

probably not

[still canyon]

harvard is the UTD of the north

rice is the UTD of southern texas

[dry tide]

i heard ppl calling ut austin the Harvard of the south 💔 💔 💔 💔

[still canyon]

"harvard of the [anything]" is just a sad phrase

[nocturne gazelle]

I've heard people say Vandy is 😭🥺💔

[nocturne gazelle]

ong

[still canyon]

vandy is like registered as east coast to me

[nocturne gazelle]

It's Nashville dawg I would not dare

[dry tide]

where is vanderbilt

[olive ingot]

vandy is not east coast

tennessee

[dry tide]

where is tn 💔 isnt that north

[still canyon]

yes thats why i said it registers as that 😭

[nocturne gazelle]

Nash

[olive ingot]

no

[still canyon]

OPEN THE SCHOOLS 😭

[olive ingot]

LOL

well its north of texas

but almost everything is north of texas

[still canyon]

stop college maxing and learn about the World! and develop interests and Personality traits!

[dry tide]

it's like barely south

[nocturne gazelle]

Guys I'm so good at state quizzes it's crazy there should be a class at rice for that lol

[dry tide]

i do have interests 💔

[nocturne gazelle]

Culturally deep south

[still canyon]

i hope there is im so good at them 🔥

[olive ingot]

can you be saying that 😭😭

lowk i didn't think about college until 2025

[dry tide]

seniors r allowed to collegemaxx tho

it's socially accepted

[still canyon]

true, not you in particular. there was someone on here that said they didnt bother to educate themselves about the world or some shit
that just irked me the wrong way

[nocturne gazelle]

Rq capital of Idaho 😭

[still canyon]

i think i can
i didn't think about colleges until like a few months ago, i figured out this discord exists in june, i dont have a reddit, and i started talking here this week
and i had no idea what hypsm and yield protection and all this bullshit is until i joined

[still canyon]

boise

[nocturne gazelle]

🫡 🔥

[dry tide]

😭 imo u get permission to not know anything abt world events and politics up until like 15 does that sound bad

[still canyon]

ive just been doing shit im interested in, college maxing has literally never been on my mind 😭 and my whole app is social justice focused so that's pretty "learning about the world-ly"

[still canyon]

thats incomprehensibly stupid

[nocturne gazelle]

Same lol I used to shit on college maxers

[still canyon]

no offense

[dry tide]

how

[olive ingot]

mmmm valid valid

[dry tide]

incomprehensibly stupid ok wow 😭 😭 💔

[olive ingot]

me tooo

i wouldn't be on here until second semester junior year personally 😭

[nocturne gazelle]

Gone to the dark side ahh transformation

[olive ingot]

same to you

:P

[still canyon]

why 15? you dont magically become a person who interacts with society, democracy, and the government at 15. you should be commited to being an informed citizen who learns and forms opinions (or at least discuses) about pertinent issues

[still canyon]

i didnt register the "imo" part i thought this was something smb else said to you

[dry tide]

shouldve clarified but not like a hard line but a transition period of not knowing anything to knowing
but it also depends on a lot of stuff

[still canyon]

i mean i do feel bad for them

[nocturne gazelle]

Ehh I didn't really care until like 14 so that be behaviorally accurate ofc you can start younger

[dry tide]

oh ok lol

[still canyon]

makes sense, as long as people arent like entirely ignorant yk

[dry tide]

covid as a 10 year old was golden period bro cause i look back and the economy back then seemed terrible

also nothing important happens in elementary

[nocturne gazelle]

Yup 😛 but like I try and avoid it being a regular thing I talk about

[dry tide]

middle school u get placements for math classes so u gotta lock in for that but elementary u have nothing

[still canyon]

i was a straight D student in middle school lmfao]

i did not give a flying fuck

[olive ingot]

covid in middle school was 😭😭

[dry tide]

is there a D on your hs transcript?

[olive ingot]

middle school was like so short imo

[still canyon]

i pulled an a on the hs classes i was smart about that lol

selective effort

[dry tide]

oh ok u good then

[still canyon]

but i loved my teachers and they liked me back i wasnt a slacker

[dry tide]

middle school was so freaking long for me

[still canyon]

yeah because 6th was cut short and 7th was all online 😭

[olive ingot]

^^

[nocturne gazelle]

Bro honestly same but straight B and C

[olive ingot]

8th was still all masked up

[still canyon]

#1 rice simp what led you to become #1 rice simp

[dry tide]

in 6th grade in fall i used to just say i was scared of covid so i didn't go to school half the time lol

fall 2021

[still canyon]

tragic because i never had a middle school acne phase 💔 wasted potential

[olive ingot]

i love rice

[still canyon]

why

im curious

[olive ingot]

girl tell me why i started getting acne the moment my dentist said my skin was rly good 😭😭

in 9th aaaaa

[dry tide]

isnt not getting that a good thing 😭

[olive ingot]

i visited in april and it was super duper nice

i got swiped into the serveries (by some people here :D) and it just felt like the place for me yk

[still canyon]

it is a good thing, but we had to be masked up

[olive ingot]

like that intangible feeling

that it felt like home

idk

i usually avoid the question by just saying cuz its rice

but i genuinely love everything about it

[dry tide]

WE wore masks even when we didn't have to because WE were insecure right?

[olive ingot]

from the last night atmosphere to the conversations right before class

i also love the architectue

they just reworked the academic quad

[dry tide]

u went at night?

[olive ingot]

and its like so beutiful

[still canyon]

its just so awesome from myriad angles (sat word yw @dry tide )

[dry tide]

variety of angles

?

[still canyon]

and its the perfect amount of diversity without it being all indian like UT is

im indian by the way

[olive ingot]

i was in texas for 2.5 days

[still canyon]

i can say that

[dry tide]

UT Austin is all Indian?

[still canyon]

i just dont like all indian schools idk

[dry tide]

i thought u were like a white girl ngl

or Asian

[olive ingot]

day 1 i went to everything around rice and then a rice tour

[still canyon]

it might be selection bias, but quite a bit
but its also big enough to be diverse

[olive ingot]

indian is asian

[still canyon]

so there's a certain continent that india is in!!

ok bro i get not knowing about politics but please know your continents

[still canyon]

is it because i said i was a d student

[dry tide]

SE Asian srry or whatever region cn/jp/korea is in

[olive ingot]

and states

[dry tide]

brain fart 💔

[still canyon]

tn is in the north wdym

[dry tide]

💔

[olive ingot]

@dry tide what do i give off

[still canyon]

racially profile me too

oh wait you already did

😭

[olive ingot]

anyway

[dry tide]

i think you're a white mixed asian girl

[olive ingot]

Rice is a super diverse place

[olive ingot]

hehe

(im not 😭)

[dry tide]

am i right?

oh

[still canyon]

their pronouns are he/him

that usually means they identify as male

[dry tide]

ohh didn't know that srry

[still canyon]

it says in the tags lol

[dry tide]

i lwk don't look at the roles 😭 i js look at the color of the name

[olive ingot]

si ok

i love rice

[still canyon]

@olive ingot yeah i didnt say you were trans

[still canyon]

yes!!

[unique loom]

i do like the new quad/all the paths, but the one thing I will say is that my class matriculated before the quad was done

[olive ingot]

aaaaaa was there still construction going on 😭😭

[unique loom]

so rather than walking through the path and into rice, we walked into an active construction site and then turned around

[olive ingot]

AAAAAA

nooooo 😭😭

[dry tide]

does rice have a chill atmosphere all the time

[still canyon]

i visited last month and there was still construction going on

[olive ingot]

🙂‍↕️ from what i saw

though there are dead days

[unique loom]

there's always construction

[olive ingot]

but theres like events during dead days

[still canyon]

i was watching a video about weiss's playboy magazine top 10 college party holy shit

they shut it down

[unique loom]

dead days are when campus is most active

[olive ingot]

wait what 😀

[dry tide]

it feels a bit too chill to me

idk

[unique loom]

Nothing beats hopping between study break to study break

[olive ingot]

i need rice culture

[dry tide]

i still got time to decide tho

[unique loom]

I deadass love going and getting free food at like 5 different places instead of studying LOL

[olive ingot]

my high school experience has been the opposite of rice culture

[olive ingot]

FOOD

also good luck in this semester's dead days

i heard today was the last day of classes

[unique loom]

o7 ty, yeah dead days start tomorrow technically

[nocturne gazelle]

[olive ingot]

[unique loom]

[olive ingot]

[dry tide]

ive always been in small schools and my 1st - 8th school was really tiny

[nocturne gazelle]

😭
bro what would you describe as rice red flags
cus this shit sounds peak

[nocturne gazelle]

idk what small is but ive always had 120 in my batch

[olive ingot]

ohhh dang

rice is a pretty small school too

[unique loom]

During this event, multiple cultural clubs （including ours） will be serving breakfast items from different cultures, including hotteok, pandan waffles, chocolate chip pancakes, Jamaican saltfish fritters, scallion pancakes, pesarratu, kimchi jeon, parathas, bubble waffles (!!!), smocha pasua, Arab pastries (including basbousa and baklava), taiyaki, jian bing (Chinese stuffed crepes), Cameroonian croquettes, buñuelos, gluten free pancakes, vegan chocolate cookies, Abe’s vegan muffins, and cheese vegetable uttapam

[olive ingot]

my elementary school had 100 in each batch

[olive ingot]

so many yums

freshman 15 gonna be freshman 50 😭

[unique loom]

the lines are going to be so diabolically long

[dry tide]

40 each grade for my elementary+middle and 90 each grade for my hs here

[nocturne gazelle]

AHHHH
Peak

[olive ingot]

burns the calories :D

[olive ingot]

dang ur hs is small

[unique loom]

umm i will say personally I'm not a huge beer bike/hoo-rah person for typical college activites (like parties), but that's just because I'm introverted

[nocturne gazelle]

hmm fair because I see some cali people say they have 2000 people in a grade

[olive ingot]

no way 😭😭

how do they fit 8000 people in a school

[nocturne gazelle]

less chance of a 🔫

[dry tide]

we are right next to a cc (less than 1 minute walk) so it's Basically one with it, due to the hs program being that u do a bunch of DE classes

[olive ingot]

oop

[olive ingot]

that sounds pretty cool

[dry tide]

THATS way too much wtf

[nocturne gazelle]

I think they have mutiple buildings lmfao

wait did he say grade

or school

[dry tide]

yes

[nocturne gazelle]

[dry tide]

[unique loom]

[olive ingot]

[olive ingot]

[dry tide]

[nocturne gazelle]

[nocturne gazelle]

WTF 😭

[olive ingot]

largest school in the county

[dry tide]

[olive ingot]

i usually do clubs during lunch

[still canyon]

texas

[nocturne gazelle]

[olive ingot]

[nocturne gazelle]

I alr applied to the publics I want
UW seattle UIUC SUNY Binghampton

[dry tide]

[dry tide]

1 main safety then ig an ultra one

like auto admit

[nocturne gazelle]

oh lmao

[dry tide]

oh nice

[dry tide]

why would u need 4 lol

[still canyon]

i applied to umd, american, and fordham (withdrawing)

idk why

genuinely no purpose

[nocturne gazelle]

depends on what you call a safety ig
I just put all the publics there lmao

[dry tide]

how come you'd hate going?

[cedar smelt]

Damn, this chat is active. I played a few games of Fortnite and missed messages.

[still canyon]

we're all going insane lebron

[cedar smelt]

I can tell

[dry tide]

like >70% AR idk

[cedar smelt]

If you all get in, we can have a group lunch at the servery okay?

On my swipes

[nocturne gazelle]

brooo hows the 'gaming' scene at rice lmfao 💔 😭 ✌️

[dry tide]

i put UTD as a safety i think but idk if it is lol

[nocturne gazelle]

then none lol

[cedar smelt]

I was playing with some of my trading friends

LOL

Not even with the people at Rice

[still canyon]

it's a very large population, over 200 people from my school commit there, not a good school culture/environment, becoming concerningly conservative now, etc.

[still canyon]

oh yeah i got in there too

[still canyon]

youre the best lebron

[dry tide]

if i get in theres gonna be like a year window in 2028 where we all are in lol im down for that

[nocturne gazelle]

Yerrr

[olive ingot]

we're more active than sm of the other schools :D

[dry tide]

conservative?? 💔 💔

[olive ingot]

just from like 6 or 7 of us

[cedar smelt]

wait swara, so do you live in irvine or dallas?

[still canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/d9luxe-concept-gif-11664351923916387395

[nocturne gazelle]

I mean that is true tho lol

[still canyon]

irvine up until a few years ago, dallas now

[cedar smelt]

Ah okay

I was like, why are you applying to utd as an irvine residnet lol

[still canyon]

not the students (at least not much), but the admin yes. and concerningly so

[dry tide]

the concept of being accepted to a t20 but you had imposter syndrome but turns out you are actually qualified

[cedar smelt]

I have imposter syndrome.

[still canyon]

i think the better question is why i am applying to so many safeties when i already got into ut

[cedar smelt]

That's a great question

[nocturne gazelle]

Ahhh the goat cant be saying this

[dry tide]

thats a shame
i think a lot of my kids in my skl wanna go and i don't really wanna go to the same school as any of my friends i wanna make a whole new set of ones

[cedar smelt]

No i feel really dumb here lol

Everyone here is so smart

[still canyon]

yes if you live in texas you'll inevitably have a lot of people go there (and A&M/TTU) so if you want to branch out, consider other schools

[still canyon]

i feel very behind

i have no idea what all these bullshit terms like hypsm and yield protection were

[olive ingot]

i think ur doing great

[nocturne gazelle]

yield protection is the most stupid concept to ever exist

[olive ingot]

[nocturne gazelle]

I mean idt you have to at any t20

[still canyon]

[nocturne gazelle]

Id rather that lmao

[cedar smelt]

oweek man

what a time

[olive ingot]

i heard its peak

[still canyon]

im a girl, so sorority presence is a little diff than frat presence (like its more focused on the networking and alumni situation, as opposed to parties)
and MIT bro their frats are insane, but yes makes sense 😭

[cedar smelt]

Yeah its peak

I won't reveal too much though, you all can find out yourselves in 8 months

[olive ingot]

ive seen and heard so much

[nocturne gazelle]

wait when did your parents drop you off and when did O week start lmao

[dry tide]

whats o week

[still canyon]

dont they memorize your name literally when your parents drop you off

[still canyon]

college orientation on steroids

[dry tide]

like the frantic period of every 1 tryna be situated

[nocturne gazelle]

Yeah exactly its more of the alumni and academic fraternization even for frats
AND WHAT MIT HAS FRATS??

damn unfamiliar with their game

[still canyon]

bro do you have friends in boston schools rn

[nocturne gazelle]

oh lol

[still canyon]

MIT frat scene is legendary

[nocturne gazelle]

[nocturne gazelle]

Thank god bro my passport is so bad

damn I legit never thought MIT had crazy frats I thought it was a complete nerd school 😭

[still canyon]

this is lovely news

[still canyon]

they dont have to be exclusive. theres lower-ranked schools with no greek life, and vice versa

[nocturne gazelle]

[compact saffron]

[nocturne gazelle]

[compact saffron]

[nocturne gazelle]

[compact saffron]

i loved feeling like i was in the middle of a forest

[nocturne gazelle]

Intl' but ed lol gl gang

[still canyon]

my ex might be RD'ing to rice, lebron do you think you can hack into lovett hall and look at the database in jan

[olive ingot]

we have one of the lower populations

[compact saffron]

gl to u too, being ed defo gives u better odds

[still canyon]

really, rice is in such an affluent urban area 😭

[dry tide]

can you get into an ivy league by just a legacy

no right

[olive ingot]

i feel like its kinda out of the way tbh; more suburban

[still canyon]

not just but big big advantage

[compact saffron]

true, i remember driving through mansions to get there

[nocturne gazelle]

yes but legit surrounded by buildings lmao

[compact saffron]

but like

tastefully built mansions??

idk they didn't look like mcmansions if yknow what i mean

[nocturne gazelle]

wait for what purpose ...

[olive ingot]

it surrounded by

1. a neighborhood
2. rice village
3. the museum district
4. TMC

i dont think its that urban like columbia

[nocturne gazelle]

Not rice lol
I mean the forest around rice

[still canyon]

to see if he did RD

[compact saffron]

yall have exes?

[still canyon]

hes premed

[olive ingot]

ohhh yea

[still canyon]

oop i got clocked

[dry tide]

columbia is ❤️ ❤️ campus the views look so nice

[olive ingot]

😭😭😭

[dry tide]

nyc

[nocturne gazelle]

💔

[compact saffron]

defo not, nyc is something else

[nocturne gazelle]

peak city
but like expensive + not thaaat safe

[compact saffron]

[dry tide]

looked it up and my city is actually more dangerous than nyc

[compact saffron]

tbf depends on the area, i think morningside heights is fairly safe bc columbia

[still canyon]

nyc is one of the safest big cities

[compact saffron]

cant argue w/ the expensie tho

[still canyon]

esp morningside

[nocturne gazelle]

Yeah thats why Im not applying NYU cant justify the expense I could justify for columbia maybe

[compact saffron]

if we were in the 70s it would be a diff story tho

[cedar smelt]

Haha

I wish

[compact saffron]

i can see that, nyc is my absolute dream so i AM applying to barnard and nyu tho

realistically i think i will end up smw in florida tho

[still canyon]

i did not love barnard, are you applying to fordham?

[nocturne gazelle]

same lmao my friends eding to barnard its basically columbia lol

[nocturne gazelle]

usf is calling lmao

[still canyon]

barnard is like a high school

it might even be smaller

[compact saffron]

nahhh, my mom almost lost her mind when i told her i wanted to apply to a school in the bronx

why didnt u love barnard tho??

[compact saffron]

more like ucf and fiu

[still canyon]

they also have a campus in manhattan! i lived there last summer it was pretty nice

[compact saffron]

tbh i didnt like columbia as much as barnard

[still canyon]

tbh it was super small and not as diverse as i'd prefer, although better than a lot of the 7 Sisters

[compact saffron]

yeahhhh in lincoln center :D, another thing was that they do not meet full need tho, and exp contribution is abt 50k per year i believe

[still canyon]

that sucks
but they do give a good amt of merit aid from what ive heard

[compact saffron]

i actually really like the small size aspect, like i bet the community is really tight-knit. i do see how that might affect admissions chances tho

[compact saffron]

really?? imma look into that

[nocturne gazelle]

my dumbass jumped thinking I got in 😭

[nocturne gazelle]

oh lol my friend got nmsqt fullride at usf

[compact saffron]

thats diabolical on their part tbf

[compact saffron]

thats the good side on less selective schools, tbh even if i were accepted at my top choices ill have to go where its most affordable

[nocturne gazelle]

I mean yeah its the only mail I got after applying but its nowhere as bad as my UK unis
They keep spamming lmao

[nocturne gazelle]

Honestly same unless its rice or U chi

[compact saffron]

ohhh u from the uk??

[compact saffron]

ig if rice accepted me price wouldnt be such a big factor either, my mom also loved it when we visited

being accepted ANYWHERE is a blessing tho

[nocturne gazelle]

nah but uk ed system so my chances of getting Imperial (which is ranked world #2 by QS 😭 ) is most likely

I alr have interview and thats 80% acceptance afterwards

But like Id 10000000% rather go rice

[compact saffron]

at least ur domestic in the uk

like there are truly STELLAR unis there

[compact saffron]

understandable

[nocturne gazelle]

Oh im not lol the UK education system is pretty global

[nocturne gazelle]

fr

but its dry as hell

[still canyon]

many friends of mine also applied to uk unis, it's pretty accessible

[still canyon]

what draws you to it

[nocturne gazelle]

a lot more than US

[nocturne gazelle]

Vibes

bro uk unis are deadass strict and shit

Not tryna deal with all that

😭

also job oppurtunities lmao

[compact saffron]

really? i remember looking into it and realizing they didn't recognize high school diplomas from my country

and that's on being latin american

[nocturne gazelle]

ohh yeah that part is pretty stupid
I mean its really accesible for most of asia/europe/middle east
Its pretty stupid they just dont recognise a diploma

[olive ingot]

day 39 of manifesting for RICE 🍚

[nocturne gazelle]

[compact saffron]

what time zone are you on

[olive ingot]

im east coast lol

[nocturne gazelle]

[compact saffron]

IKKK, its so stupid bc students from my school have gone to the ivies and t50s

ohh ur doing it early

[nocturne gazelle]

I mean the UK is like get this required score from this accepted diploma and youre in lmao

[compact saffron]

ig that makes it easier for some but altogether impossible for others

i believe ib diplomas are offered at only TWO (2) schools in my country

[nocturne gazelle]

Oh shit I'm in ib lol
0/10 would never recommend 😛💔😭🥺

[cedar smelt]

Yeah they do

There are messages within the hour

[nocturne gazelle]

i like the subjects lol just not the IAs and extra work

[compact saffron]

yeahh but it doesn't really feel like a conversation then ig, i will not stop trying to blow up the others tho

[compact saffron]

what are IAs??

[nocturne gazelle]

basically a mini research paper you have to write in every subject

20% final grade

[compact saffron]

thats crazy 💀

my math class was only classworks, hws, study guides, and tests

[lucid grove]

I can give you niche MIT blog posts to ping them with

I just did this one

See what a happy milk

Unfortunately it got kidnapped in 2022

Its whereabouts are now unknown

[compact saffron]

just finished reading it, honestly wtf

mit students need to be studied in a lab

[compact saffron]

CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WAS THE #1 UNI IN THE WORLD AT ONE POINT

[lucid grove]

They have longer posts too https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/all-the-bridges-ive-crossed-in-cambridge-ranked/

[lucid grove]

MIT is the epitome of proof that schools really do look for cultural fit in students

[compact saffron]

tbh i kinda love that for them

truly seems like a place where nerds do the things they do best

be smart and be weird

[cedar smelt]

Hello, this is a Rice only thread

[dry tide]

There’s no possible way for mine to show up

[nocturne gazelle]

Luck gang lmao 🥉

[nocturne gazelle]

Lmao good thing about having a random ahh name is not dealing with that

[trail haven]

do u guys know if they send an email like a couple days before with the decision release date and time?

[still canyon]

last year they announced the date and time with an instagram story, so i'd assume it to be similar

riceadmission i think

on ig

[trail haven]

omg

do u know like how many days before

[nocturne gazelle]

@trail haven

[trail haven]

LOLL

[nocturne gazelle]

what did you apply for 🥺

[cedar smelt]

They’ll also email you

[compact saffron]

wait thats true

what do yall wanna study??

[cedar smelt]

Btw, Rice emailed me 3 days before the decision date letting me know when it was

[nocturne gazelle]

bioengineering 🥺

[trail haven]

premed buddies??

[trail haven]

tyy

[nocturne gazelle]

yerr 😭

[compact saffron]

gl

i would not put myself through med school

funny bc i wanna study biochem or neuroscience which are traditionally premed i think

[nocturne gazelle]

Im just trying lol Im not focused on med school

[still canyon]

sopa! its kind of unique to rice lol

[still canyon]

wait why fork over that many bands for premed 😭 youre intl right

[nocturne gazelle]

no bro its not premed 😭 Im not completely delusional
Its medical technologies side

prosthetics, robo surgery

shit like that

[still canyon]

wait my reading skills are so chopped today 😭 i didnt see the 'not focused' part

[still canyon]

that's heat

[cedar smelt]

Finally a bit warmer today.

[compact saffron]

social policy analysis? thats neat!!

[compact saffron]

ohh got it

i got a question tho,

is there a difference between biomedical engineering and bioengineering? i got friends who study biomedical and they want to go into designing high-tech prosthetics and all that jazz

[nocturne gazelle]

Was it cold cold ???

[nocturne gazelle]

big difference

bioengineering still has materials science and just general bio manufacturing things but I want to degree with a dual in bioengineering + robotics equivalent to have the best shot

For prosthetics especially

Do biomedical engineering if you are sure and passionate but its a ug specialized major which is always risky

[cedar smelt]

Yes like low 40s

[nocturne gazelle]

Oh shit what

Like ik it snows but early Dec seems too early lol

[cedar smelt]

Yea bro

Nah it doesn’t snow here often

[nocturne gazelle]

Rarely

[cedar smelt]

It’s like a once in a few years kinda thing in Houston

[compact saffron]

ohhh i didnt know that

biomedical is becoming really popular in my country but i hadnt really heard about bioengineering

[olive ingot]

naviance changed the name and i got so scared for a second 😭😭

[still canyon]

government name is crazy

"this college is a safety" is also crazy 😭

[olive ingot]

naviance be tweaking

[compact saffron]

naviance believes in u #1 rice simp

[cedar smelt]

[open violet]

hey hey, back off. the Toaster is warm, cozy, and iconic

living in an indestructible building has its perks when a hurricane blows through town

[runic kindle]

Are any residential colleges better than another

[open violet]

technically, no, every college is great. but if you ask a student or alum, the response will always be that their college is the best college

[cedar smelt]

In terms of culture, maybe. In terms of facilities, yes. But everyone thinks their own college is the best, so there is no real answer

[ember niche]

New ones better facilities = better

[runic kindle]

Hm makes sense

[still canyon]

shit i shoudlnt say that

[runic kindle]

But what about like culture

[cedar smelt]

Yes but the ones with newer facilites tend to have less culture

[olive ingot]

the one im in will be the best one

[cedar smelt]

Older ones tend to have better culture

[still canyon]

yes

[ember niche]

U make the culture tho right

[runic kindle]

Like is every college have good camaraderie and collaborative and stuff

[runic kindle]

And just nice people in general

[cedar smelt]

Well yes, the students drive the culture

[still canyon]

#1 rice simp and me at baker 🤞

[cedar smelt]

Yes, the whole school

[ember niche]

Yea I believe in u

U can make some cool stuff for chao

[runic kindle]

Oh yay

[cedar smelt]

I knew someone who applied ed who was a goddamn baker simp. She got in ed and into baker, it was so crazy lol

[cedar smelt]

Yeah for sure

[runic kindle]

Would you say YOU are a collaborative and a nice person? 🤔 ||im kidding||

[open violet]

better facilities doesn't always mean a better college. culture imo matters so much more, bc you can make any space livable if you try hard enough. culture is hard to build and maintain. even when older colleges get newer buildings, the culture doesn't always translate over well, bc so much culture is based around us making good use of weird spaces

[runic kindle]

Yeah I’d prioritize a good culture cause I assume facilities in general are good enough

[open violet]

it takes time for things to marinate and gel together, so i wouldn't put expectations for Chao too high. it's gonna take a few years before they have a foundation set

[cedar smelt]

Haha very

[open violet]

compared to a lot of other schools across the state, Rice has very nice facilities overall

[cedar smelt]

Overall, yes

[cedar smelt]

Ngl, I will apply as an oweek advisor for Chao

Don't know how that's going to be though lol

[runic kindle]

Help build the foundation

[cedar smelt]

Yepp

[dry tide]

whats chao

[runic kindle]

Wouldn’t u be a bit sad tho leaving ur initial residential college

[cedar smelt]

The new res college

[cedar smelt]

Yes, but I have my reasons for leaving

[dry tide]

theres a new one again?

[cedar smelt]

Wdym again? I think the last time a new one was built was 2009?

Duncan

[runic kindle]

figures

[cedar smelt]

Yea nothing to do with culture though. I met a lot of great friends

[dry tide]

oh

[cedar smelt]

But there have been a lot of new buildings built for an already exisitng res college yes

[kind crag]

hellooo I just found this,, would it be okay to put a funny photo of yourself as the rice box image?

to my understanding its just something that appeals to you but it feels weird to put a picture of myself to something that "appeals to me"

[open violet]

the advice i got back in the day was that anything is good, as long as it doesn't make your admission counselor question your character or admissability

[cedar smelt]

Define funny

As long as it’s not inappropriate it’s fine. I sent in a photo of me and my 5 year old cousin playing uno

[still canyon]

yes!!

optional never means actually optional

unless you had exactly 10 ECs and 5 awards and therefore had no extra info

but still the opportunity to expand on them is pretty valuable

[still canyon]

im sure they still accept many w/o a resume

[nocturne gazelle]

Basically yeah

shit I mean I think it should be okay

[still canyon]

they're probably more lenient with intls

[nocturne gazelle]

I can still submit one lmfao

[cedar smelt]

I didn’t submit one

I should be good but what If i send the resume rn lmfao

[cedar smelt]

No point in submitting a resume if it just repeats ur common app activities

Even if it expands on ur activities list, that’s just wasting an AOs time unless its like some really important info lol
