in fact i think im "international" but us citizen so considered 'domesstic'
regents?
oh wait is this how it is same here then
if not
Ut Austin be like that
im us cit but intl high school
good luck! ππ
ye most private schools consider u as domestic
but put u as 'international' context
appreciate it twin
atbbbbb
o i didnt know lmao thx
Rice does it by citizenship or permanent residency, so you'd be domestic i think
wahoo
yeah i think every private school does that
idk abt publics
they prob put out of state with international considering they love their tax payers π₯Ί
was it actually a rejection or did you get CAP?
lol then that's why
thank uuu
bro ur my idol π
but yeah tuition is not worth it
i got waitlist everywhere lmao
oh yeah LA wl'd me too
π’
omg cmu also wl'd meee
but that's basically a soft rejection
yeah lmao its like some 0.5% lmao
rejected caltech/mit obviously
caltech is madddd
did you do rea?
yes
oo
RD π
Ngl this admissions process is a roller coaster for everybody
even the people I know in state who got in didnβt get their major soooo
π
good luck!!!
tysm
Bro ppl in my school are considered residents cuz of their parents' job
They all got rejected
π
1570s and such
1570s donβt matter when almighty top 5% rule
whats a 'safe' sat score for rice?
ut austin is so crazy atp
ohhh maybe that doesnt apply then
none of them
i think theyre more hollistic
anything within the average range, but it's dependent on the rest of your application lol
just be at the median and make sure everything else is awesome π
they don't admit you or reject u based on your sat
probs below 1000
yeah they donβt have cutoffs
ngl rice seems so awesome
my ass had a 1490 superscored sat and 34 act
then again I had other things in my app sooooo
yeah anyone can run baker
oh my god i mentioned it in my interview and she was shocked and said she's not allowed to talk about it but she said it's def fun
π
beer bike
you know your stuff lol
no i just went on the residential traditions site βοΈ π
and spun a wheel
did rice ask for a mid-year report when u applied for ed2
valid
when I was writing my apps ngl I had no Idea what they would consider surface level knowledge
no but I sent it to them
because my grades improved
shit they asked one for me and I was ed1
but that was after decisions
I don't remember them doing it so I could b wrong
any Rice student (major clarification)
after admission
they ask for a mid year and a final report
oh ok
yeah thatβs probably what I meant
What abt ap exams u end up taking
Hypothetically what if you do shit on the ap exams u say u were gonna take π π π
and don't need credit for them
more for them than for you lol. wouldn't want any high schoolers getting crazy ideas
buddy itβs on a case by case basis
ur evaluated based on YOUR own context
for every private school at least
if my grades are stonger in the mid-year report will they consider the latter for rd or look at it as a whole
ur forgetting the $100 application fee goes somewhere βοΈ π
it's a service if anything
yo if 3 people from my comp school got rice last year and none of them matriculated (one of them got some merit thing) how bad is that
and I didnβt pay a dime!
doesnβt mean anything, they evaluate based on you
mmmm its a good sign for them but they still consider previous ones
i lowkey took advantage of any waivers i got in my email
LMAO
san franscisco gave me one and i instantly applied
How good is rice RSAT
wdym
speaking of π
alright thanks
what's rsat
real
yo i got rice likely
has any1 in this server made all 8 ivies?
unlikely
rice doesn't do likelies lol
we know
if you applied gl to you too
i have no idea but possibly
i think applying to all 8 ivies is stupid
apply to the place u imagine urself truly going to π₯Ί
well shoot ur shot ig
rice is lowk hella overpriced ngl
financial aid brother π
itβs your dollars
aid bru
all schools are
gtech mogs rice ngl
i think the only case it'd be valid if all 8 of them have what ur looking for
did you get in?
and that's very unlikely
yes
unless it's prestige chasing
public school versus private school comparison in the big 26
π
2k vs 20k ahh
a&m and Ut have a better engineering program techically
cap
esp when t5 publics mog it
yeah for sure
Ut Austin would cost me like x16 as much as rice
sharing that with 9k more students π₯
in sports definitely
good for u but thats not hte case for most people
it's all prefernce i guess
marginal
differences
fgli
just get turing or csb, problem solved
"just get turing" brutal
id say turing over rice for sure
ofc the rice kids are coping lmao
100% but like
that didnt come did it
π
they admit 50 people
idk man going to college like 30 minutes away is pretty nice ngl
i genuinenly think private school life is calmer than any public school
and tolerable
let's not try cortisol spiking
ig thats fair
but the vast majority of ppl going to rice arent within 30 minutes of it
my ass was gonna go to a&m if I didnβt get into rice 60k vs 4.8k undergrad
π
ragebait used to be believable
real
but yeah i've never met an unhappy rice student
i've met like a bajillion unhappy berkeley students
with how low % rate its not stupid at all
i think most ppl thinking its stupid
are mad that
ppl who may not want to go
are taking spots
same for cmu guys
i guess
but like if u truly think u have a shot you'd apply to the ones you imagine urself going to
but the colleges alr have known their yield and expected spots for the year
i did
nah CMU i've met a bunch of happy ppl
but theyre economics students
a lot of my friends at rice say they like ut and georgia tech student life better
now that i think of it
social optimum ahh
source?
cs kids are in shambles
anecdotal evidence + no backing lol
and jobs/networking gtech and ut mog
π i pray for them
my school's a feeder
I mean Aggie network in Texas obliterates everything in Texas
this is true
USC's trojan network
why stay in texas tho lol
obliterates the US though
yeah run west coast
yes cause we fully believe u on this
or nyc
if u go to gtech or ut u can go far greater places than texas
say "fight on" in the new york subway
well tbf rice gets u anywhere
Texas ainβt a bad state what
and someone's gonna respond
like west coast or nyc
nah most likely theyre gonna think ur a crazy
this is NOT true
there's like hundreds of thousands of alum
and Iβve been to every state
maybe manhatten
ig
WHAT
considering the doors that elite colleges open, staying in texas is lowk a waste of tuition
but in every other borough ur gonna get confused looks
engineering jobs are in Houston
yeah for energy and healthcare ig
oh
Iβm chilling
unless u wanna work for musk
u can do far greater things than engineering if u go to an elite college
idc who signs my paychecks
far greater things than engineering
π₯
Dawg
yeah keep bowing down to the man, idgaf
thats like 2 companies bro
texas has opportunities lol
what's wrong with engineering
speaking as if Rice ain't one
π
not nearly as many compared to nyc or west coast
this also applies to defense contractors
objectively its not..
yo read that again
yeah h town is rlly good for aero
u right
obviously
@iron haven u seem like you'd love california
π
why dont you go
start your own venture
objectively it is but we can differ
get funded by 10000 vcs
ik there is a research program b/w rice & nasa
he is actually. he got into a t15 in cali alr
he alr said something liek that
awesomesauce
whos gonna tell bro
california is awesome
yc 24 btw
Im prolly going to caltech
no ur not
caltech mogs rice to oblivion
stop the cap
cali is alright
cap
are you accepted?
yes
proof
verify as prefosh then we can talk
no im on an alt
u guys dont believe he got into caltech π
why would i use my actual account
uh huh
I need to get my friends in here (they would likely just spam the n word until they got banned so probably not)
classic rice behavior
never said i didn't believe π₯Ί
this is not classic rice behaviour
but caltech for CS
not even rice behavior, rural Texas school behavior
Either way caltech mogs rice
no bro caltech huh
can we agree on that
no
bro stop
?
caltech for a specific type of autist
no, and I'm allowed to have an opinion
social life
true
social life not an objective measure tho
i guess bro
he means in every objective measure
it isn't but yea
yeah but undergraduate population is
caltech social life is better than wtvr cowboy stuff u ricies do
maximum 2 story buildings
if we go program by program rice wins in at least 5
pasadena is nice tho
100%
so cmu automatically has a better social life than princeton cuz it has more people
itβs not cowboy stuff itβs stripping naked and running around with shaving cream
every single field caltech beats rice
check rn if you don't believe me
obviously
no?
Source?
US news and Niche, go check
source: trust me bro
niche is unreliable
Bro believes us news π€¦ββοΈ
oh Jesus Christ we bringing out the ranking websites
yeah but still check us news
hate to bring it up but he wanted objective measures
Is rice better or Georgia tech for CS if you want to go into academia
also check Forbes ranking of Rice, higher than Caltech
hard to say lowk
depends on ur goals and overall fit
rice glaze
bro jus goes off his own opinon (which is fair, just down expect other people to agree)
yeah im glazing him just because i dont completely disagree with him
What are we doing
yes thats the point of a2c
wrong, every college in the United States is the exact same
For something more computational bio focused, TMC would help fs Im guessing
holy copium
some dude is js ragebaiting
this is why we're going to ASU to frame mog everyone
exactly
a2c group trip
nah hes da
I donβt need my rice Ed1 acceptance Iβm going to asu
A2c circlejerk
thank u chloe
Iβm sure thatβs already a thing on reddit
bro got banned
lmao
he was on his alt so he'll probs be back
how did bro find that
#1400592846339178506 message
search his profile easy
quick search
bro that thread is dead
LMAO
but tbh he's js going around shitting on schools lol
obviously its dead their rd was a month ago
I would know
ig his main thing is getting into caltech, wonder why other schools didn't want him
i think i said every college is unique like 10 times in this server
one would think he is on the spectrum
Itβs tough to be normal on A2C
This one wasnβt a ban
But just a sliver of how the server acts
Are we deadass
wait why did he get banned tho
was that for this guy????
for being toxic?
No
what was his ban reason
oh ok
is this on the star board
Itβs in mod chat
oh well
dk why he decided to js pop in here and hate but yk
we move!
RD people anyone get an email yet?
nope
if email is tdy its in the next few hours
ooo
i honestly think it'll be released after ivy day
itβs guaranteed before April if that makes anything better
wahoo
Can vouch on this
is there a chance rice releases today or nah
most likely not
ah
Itβs gonna be Saturday morning or Monday evening imo
whattt after ivy day is crazy
I lean slightly more towards Monday but not by much
Duke is next Tuesday tbf
but duke is always late
Not always
Darn
Michigan is also possibly running late this year
Duke was 31st in 2024
I suspect Michigan is gonna be April 3rd
aprl 3rd is crazy late
real nuke
when do u think vandy will be
Data shows theyβve had a habit of announcing day before so I wouldnβt rule out tomorrow yet
so they may send an email out in the next few hrs?
Yeah
Bro I didnβt even apply to caltech cause of how tiny and abysmal the social life is
oh fr?
Yeah ideally that school would be perfect for me if only it wasnβt so small
how much smaller is it than rice
HOLY MOLYY
it's small asf
yeah like 1000 people
its 987
ridiculous
so small
that's like 200 peeps per year
that's a little bigger than my hs
Itβs the size of my high school bro which is tiny
I donβt need high school 2.0 π
my high school smaller lol
thatβs smaller than my graduating class wth π
Sus
Bro pls rice donβt release next week ππ
still no confirmed date?
No
If i dont get into rice then its it for me
I wont be able to afford college without loans
i wasnβt talking about underrepresented states, js any state thatβs not tx in general
okay
Tmr 8 pm est

@lucid grove

OMG
Omfg
I LOVE RICE

trust the process
praying on this
This is NOT happening
real and maybe true
I will chop my hair

stuff like this
just wondering
i have low emotional intelligence
what do you mean?? Weβre just joking
they js hate me and want me to die
basically
is vandy confirmed for tomorrow too
yes
people say this and then get admitted
π
Midday manifest oh my god im so scared
you will be fine
nnorthwestern
mb
ngl
the thought of 9 decisions coming
this week
actually 11
π
This is how it ends for me
somethings coming alright
Lmg!!!
I'm so scared bro wtf
ivy day is going to be literal doomsday
duke is on the 31st

wait twin i also have 11 (within 2 days) and then duke next tuesday what are they doing so late
bloodbath for me
Rice is the best school.
For letters does rrice do confetti

adadahjkdhkaj
wowww
good luck jacob
life pls give me a small tidbid of good luck and enjoyment

good luck everyone!
Good luck to all of you
We believe in you
it'll all work out π
yippee the funky decision date is out
please make sure to ping us rice-ees to congratulate y'all!
funny how the value of the cumulation of all the work weβve done for the past 4 years is all evaluated this week
It is over
Im doing anything the most liked reply tells me if i get into rice
leave the server
reject the offer
jk
please donβt
Dye your hair blue
true
Well do an everyone ping
Maybe
First time I see this mod ever and itβs this message lol
Ahhhhhh omg
I'm scared
dont go to rice
vanderbilt and rice waiting until the last minute to announce decision release date
making a first impression is important
twin u got into stanford wdym ππ
did they actually?
true
Wow rice releasing one day before π
they give ed an actual heads up but not rd
watch you get in but not yellowlune or vice versa
Bro she better get in
Iβve seen too many cursed Sammy drawings
She was gushing about the stickers
Thursday is the real doomsday
h2o?
I didnt apply to any ivies but good luck to you!
what's coming out?
Stanford (maybe)
my dartmouth interviewer was yapping about claude ai gang
it's over
so over
we believe in y'all !!! please make sure to join the rice discord if you're accepted
LMAO
sounded more like a sound pitch the anything
I mean
Need based
and merit!!!
you can get both π (I think)
I'm one in a rice-illon
My ass is not getting in gng
need and merit?
rejected deferred then rice ed ii
real its a tiny ass button
Do they stack?
got no hopes as well
I believe so... but please don't quote me on this guys
GUYS
haha alright
its on the list to the right
Hopeless core
letter has confetti
Itβs all negativity atp π₯
colleges making their own discord is crazy
I was positive after an ivy rejection and a usc deferral so poositivity works
Lol Yale has their own too
wasn't their some random app used by a few schools that was basically discord
lmao never noticed ts before
why
I think most big colleges do(?) π
seems so out of the blue
Ykw youβre right. Positivity π₯
there was another app
useful
I know brown was on it
it has a stupid name too
cs majors yapping about having no jobs
confetti
zeemee π
like bro you go there to connect
the confetti is pretty low budget so make sure to read your letter carefully
itβs like a discord x tinder for roommates idk how I feel about it
2014 ahh png
deposit is 500$ (at least that's what it was for ED II)
ed 1 aswell
discord x tinder can't imagine any 2 apps with less overlap
not that shocking
The unofficial and the official servers π
I mean Rice is cool and everything
this app thingy
But gang
LOL
if anyone gotten into rice for arch, can i ask what yall's gpa was and how important the portfolio was
2% chance of getting accepted
Positive energy my friend
have good gpa
it's a t20
Positive energy hard to maintain under x6 rejection streak mi amigo
do u think the ib predicted score sent is converted to gpa
π rice will break that streak
Manifesting
me on rice
I sent a GPA as well. Not sure how much they factor in IB predicts, but they will def hold you to them (so hopefully you aren't overpredicted)
Just sneak my file atp
this is yall rn
seniors in general man
I'm not that cute
we all hope for y'all!
is there a conditional offer like ucla
Asides from that
cant handle the heat, stay out of the firepit
Houston seems peak overall
houston is hot
SO hot
I like hot
do you like humidity and mosquitos
yes
No
Do you want to get eaten alive by mosquitoes for 8 months out of the year
nobody likes humidity and mosquitos
yes
Get me out of here
do you want to sit in traffic for 2 hours with the mosquitoes
π
Buc ee's is the first thing I'm going to
yes. But not with exactly specified conditions.
the mosquitoes get hot too, let them in your vehicle
is that why you are yaleing it
@fervent vessel
yes itβs only fair
thanks
LMAO π most probably
ya if you got any other questions for non U.S. based things I gotchu
I mean for rice ykwim
yeah im kinda cooked for not taking aps
Iβm also sad I didnβt take ap because itβs more difficult to earn credit
but we also have regrets
ap > ib somehow
@tame pivot reminds me every time
another win for the moneyboard
advanced profit classes
real
2 billion dollar slush fund btw
how much college board ceo making
AP precal wants you.
we did not take that test
i mean it's definitely better than being bombed
π
true!
iran
ap precalc is a joke because itβs not a college level class
but wtv
How bad is calc 1 and 2 at rice
πΊπ¦
and i took it
it was algebra 2 with trig
isn't ukraine somewhat dominant though
Harder than ap calc Iβll tell ya that
grab your fpv drone, string, and rpg warhead
Yea and Russia is a submissive bottom
Or what
that doesn't make it completely safe
truth nuke
According to other rice people
It was not that bad
? They get bombed every day at an intensity greater than Iran has experienced
I had a great professor
Oh word?
I mean I was near the artillery attack once
For classes like calc 1/2 btw, we have a separate program called drop in study w/ student mentors/tutoring. Most intro stem classes have things that are similar.
@unique loom but the difficult was greater than what it wouldβve been in ap right?
not particularly
For context, I took AB in high school and took calc 2 at rice
these recuritment emails are killing me
ok so I was moderately lied to
LOL
diff people do diff things
We are all getting rejected from rice
I plan on doing the same
Was calc 2 freshman year too bad or nah?
Jhu emails killed me. All those "Nest stories'" and recruitment just to reject me
Once yβall commit, they also send you an acceptance package!!!
Bro pls not this rn
I get no recruitment emails π
Did anyone else apply to business at rice lol
never got those
No.
I had like 50 recuitment emails from rice
Best of luckπ
Iβll take it for the team chat
Yes
You guys got this
"join us on our 11 (soon to be 12) residental colleges"
No.
π
Smth about the rice family right?
Gang if u know the decision just don't send me thoseπ
yes
Literally overperforming on a rejected applicant
Imagine advertising crypto trading to a homeless
I got that but idk if it means anything
Guess we'll see tmrw
FAHHHH
Yβall the emails donβt mean anything
Smth abt so called "fellow owls"
Not too bad. Definitely a learning curve b/c of transitioning yk, but I made a lot of friends in that class
put the rejection letter in the big π₯
I had the photo of my cat
axolotl
Yea I can tell
suprised it wasn't something pokemon related
Yes! I remember them
hell yeah actually
Weβre all getting rejected from rice then from vandy before ivy day
But itβs okay
I put a baby picture on me in cultural clothing
It related to my essay but i heard putting that isnt a good idea
nah I js like Wooper
Rejection is redirection
the goat of all
I wanted to put Monk on fire in my Box gngπ₯
mine was related to my essay but an AO told me that they only look at it after your application. To not bias
atrocious take
Damn
false and fake
DAMN
I will not seal the deal
Maybe I folded with that cat pic
Whoops I did something similar too
this was built in like 3 days i think
But gen cat in a bag is too good
Box is non-evaluative!
you shouldve used the one where i had a gif on the display while it ran
they look at it after the entire application
shurg up i didnt have an image of it on hand
but it was funny....
wasnt it the joker gif
The most dangerous specimen on da planet
Im most proud of my 500 word essay for rice i put alot of work into that one
yay
that one was only testing
Yea, this is my Rice Box
Just a kitty
In da bag
W
best rice box
Cat in the bag
Indeed
if i had high aspirations and actually applied to rice i would've put my cat
however, tamu is good enough to get a job
I mean cats are cool enough for the box
so true
can someone look over my arch portfolio for rice
ill look at it, dont know what im looking at or for
shoot i'm supposed to dislike longhorns now that im an aggie
just like a general onceover, are you an arch sudent?
I wanted to apply to ATM
ill send anyways
there's actually quite a few international students at tamu
I mean I need aidπ
ah
So
i see
Yea
I have a friend whos also applying to rice rd so we'll either celebrate or cry together
or one gets in and one doesnt
I think I'm gonna message my friend right away tomorrow
Or both get waitlisted
real
If you get waitlisted at rice its wrapsπ«©
not really
this mans brother got in off waitlist
What kind of wraps?
8% acceptance rate btw
The bad kind
"Would you lose?"
"Nah I'd win."
Bad exampleπ
he still didnt go though because rice is a lot of money
97k coa now
wild shi
I remember a video of someone yelling that big Yahu should strike the car of who cut them on da roadππ
there's so many of them...
I think I'm not familiar with this kind of videos
Not quite
OMG LIMBUS
Cough
Sorry guys
Iβll see myself out
it starts with one stolen gif
@tawny heron this man probably is more of a limbus loser than you are
all it takes
Unfortunately.
It's tomorrow, manifesting we all get in
my dog lol
like after the evaluation process?
write ur 100 lines people π
smth like this π
Rice is going to be my warm-up for the bloodbath that's going to happen on the 26th and 27th
Real
yeah itβs the last thing they see and it doesnβt count towards admission
wild
it worked for me for summer program last year
so i thought it woould work again
where is the other rice simp
