same in that case 😭
Overall public unis.
Then we got NYU and USC...
i need to start like 10-15 crypto rugpulls to pay for college
like legit i talked abt it in my supps and i think in my interview
Shame tbh
I would have applied
I think it’s like the number one school in the world when it comes to publications
They publish the most papers especially in Maths
They also have a huge population of students
math boring anyways
yeah this sucks
So like it's pretty reasonable that that's the case
If you look at papers per capita I bet it's not super great
it's prob still p good
just not like
number one
I meant for papers published
oh
which is what he was tb
obviously it's a really great school
but I meant there are some other factors that lead to such a high number of papers being published
no research output for berkeley is insane even per capita just not undergrad
as in large student body
grad-wise and phd it's insane
I see
thats why theyre so high ranked
I retract my previous statement then
Yeah that makes sense
even the field medalists and nobel laureates get special parking
but u never see them with undergrads

Yeah
In terms of that I think CMU is up there
But also I think papers published is def more of a grad thing
guys is it now?
isn't it
oh yeah 100%
what?
Not much to do with undergrad
maybe we mean research opportunities?
Yup #1 for CS publications
Like your graduate departments could be really strong and have a high publication rate
But like undergrad could be a diff story
oh maybe
I mean you'll prob js know if your school is good or not
After that it's pretty arbitrary
Like whether it's a target or not
cuz berkeley research opportunities for undergrad is mainly available for the top 10%
so that's liek another disadvantage
And then minimal differences in ranking r negligible
but private institutions like rice it's pretty available
yeah makes sense
Yea Princeton for example is extremely strong in Undergraduate
Not sure about grad tho
It’s lower iirc
I see
But yeah rankings aren't super reliable because there's a lot more nuance to stuff tbh
But like in general you'll know whether your school is strong at what you want to do or not
all for the networking
i saw i cam i conquered, i conquered i saw i came
why does this remind me of my cat
Rankings usually rank based on a combination of Undergrad, grad, and PhD programs
So they are only slightly reliable
Unless you look at undergrad rankings specifically
i love this
and even rankings for ug specifically like
I love erkgoat
i love byte
what's your gpa
Such a nice fellow
most of them have a bunch of extraneous factors that might not be super relevant to your experience
3.55
thank you
at college or whatnot
I have a lower gpa lol
In my personal t5 ppl

ftc if it was more restrictive but 2v2
2v2 is SOOOO awesome

intimate
(in a good way)
was it okay to write my why major just about my first major
Ok you were in before you applied cracked stats

Yeah I did this too
i hate my life lol
so many engineers wow
at the same time
Got rejected form Vandy and USC lol

0
sweet nice
Swara I need your luck
why tf
@tame pivot get back in the call u meanie
3.55, 1330 fighting the steepest of hills 
Rice is one of my top schools
my ass is not swara
shit gpa that's why
i sold on nmsqt
bros is that guy
my english score didn’t increase 10th-11th
Call in DMs I see
1520 sat tho shouldve gotten u smth
reminds of the high schooler who did putnam
as well as ur 40/45
and mit primes like twice
a lot of international ppl get 45 IB predicted cuz of grade inflation
what else exactly will they need
ik but like
it's a shame
1550 at least not going to like
and like 3.7
everything else would be roll of the dice probably
for merit?
in general
to get in??
not much of a diff between a 1520 and a 1550
is it good if I submtied my rd app in october
you do not need a 1550 to get into rice
oh wai ti did in novembter
@tame pivot sorry for calling you Swara lmao
bro sat is so god damn overatted
anything above 1480 is gonna be completely fine
and like 14-1480 is still competitive js less so
its alr
same with my 1570 😭
what if my second digit starts with a 3 
between a 1510-1570 for their common data set
Wish me luck 😭 t-45 mins
not impossible if you have other academic accolades to make up for it
WRONG!
what does that mean
that’s with test optional due to covid
yall have more than 3 digits?
🤣
lol jk
yess
Im js happy to b in lowk
is a 1600 good for rice
6-7 mentioned
erm not really
nah too high
fuck
ong
3.5 gpa is like the bare minimum
yh
you might be fried then
Erkgoat I need your luck too
wrong
it's the avg admit
42 mins, candles for manifesting 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️
I believe you
😢 my app's in beta alright
what if my ECs were pretty cracked and essays were soul touching
i had a 1490 sat
decent course rigor maybe
idk
i think a lot of schools pre screen with academics
not the ao
actually?
i took all 10 APs offered at my school
nice
ed tho
if you’re academics aren’t up to par idk if they even look at your other stuff
with only like maybe one B+ in APW
with a 34 act....
what were the ap scores like
lol
they liked your essays, mr hard work and effort
whole lotta 3s
rip
truth nuke
my essays were gas
and rec letters
!!!!
and interview
everythingg
maybe?
extenuating circumstances for 2.5+ years can make up for it right 
they love u 😉
depends
how bad were they
Rice AO after reading my essays: Wow this kid is admit worthy
someone should start a university where they live stream commitee decisions 🥺
fire netflix show
pretty bad if it was for 2 years
welp be back in 30
Wonder how much colleges care about essays
i should have good rec letters one of them nominated me for a school wide award (which i got) so
im also from a title 1 school so that puts my SAT in context
but also he was a senior year teacher so idk
u dont want them to roll ur eyes after reading ur file
so
pretty meaningful
idk what that means
if it's anything that tells them abt ur character
it's ur essays
and rec letters
and interview
guys my sat is like 500 points above my school average is that good
bum
public school with more than 40% of students are from low income families
I thought colleges don't look at school's average sag score
ahh
man i suck
Unless Rice does
which putted my SAT above 400 points above my avg
1013 avg sat at my school tho
i mean they have to consider your score in the context of your school
1330-920
if it's in ur HS profile it helps them
mine is like 1000
1480 from a 1300 average is different than a 1420 from an 930 average
that ur counselor provides them
same
924 is genuinely fried
and it's a private school, honestly expecting it to be higher
also is it true that like only certain amount of people from school or something like that is true here
like only set amount of people can get in
ive had 2 people say that to me
My schools average is 1380 I think 💀
i hear they compare you directly against other applicants from your school so yeah probably slightly true

hope you have a 1550 or smth then
😭
nooo ur not
how would they get their sat score
they still evaluate u based on YOUR context
unless u guys have the same EXACT context
just school wise i think
Ok so
they compare you on multiple scales
should've been born in texas and be a sweat within the 1% range
My essays are pretty mid ngl
parents*
um idk
PREACH BRO
but yeah some family passings, lets hope
And also my friend said Rice was her one and only acceptance in 12 colleges she applied to
sheesh
Oh naw
insane
Holy cracked
some of the schools in my district are crazy and some are ass so it balances out
european or asian school
i swear it's like 1500+
maybe it's a feeder
and 790 average
on math
my school does too bc it’s on the border of low and high income areas
nah it’s lower bc of english
Selection bias cuz not as much take it
truee
but yeah math average is like 760+
advanced math at a younger age
they have some awesome international schools
alright im gonna eat some rice to manifest this shit

Eating rice at dinner rn lol
that's how we manifest!
Do a duolingo lesson for the owls
What abt tacos?
No
I heard Rice has decent tacos
good luck people
30 minutes
Large public
1420 is insane
same interesting contrast
i suck at the sat so bad i took it until math was good and vice versa for english and superscored it
its not uncommon because the sample size is small in canada
thank god rice accepts superscore
I have a 1560 but it hasn’t helped with shit
was the superscore?
it's the app as a whole
im canadian and my schools has like 10 ppl going to US out of 200, so only 10 of us take the SAT
ah i see
Wow chat half an hour left!
i didn't realize canadian
LOL sorry sorry
you from BC as well?
Yooo im Yale '30 too!!
Yes
AYE HIIIII
which city
dont remind me but im yale 30 btw (jk, gl)
guys I don’t like this 💔what if I just don’t open it
The city with Langara in it
Wait you’re not in the informal discord server 😭
No one talks in the official one 🥀
Every time I refresh rice's page I see the fuckass QUAD photo thinking i got in
😭

Do you want me to add you ?
LOL
waittt
OH YOU ARE?
no im not
Wait

im from richmond
around 20 more min yall
No way same
WAIT
i’m from miami florida😭
which school
so many of my friends applied to rice (houston, tx native)
I’m genuinely horrified I got deferred
Rice sends an email after RD about something indicative that you got in right?
NO
I can't say here but it's near the south
for me it was just a status update has been posted
ight thanks
u have to accept offer first
emails DONT MEAN ANYTHING
dm?
Lowkey are they AOs idk? They’re like helping AOs I think?
well put
No clue what happens there
im talking if you dont login once rd comes out
what's your top choice rn?
I think a few schools do
btw WE yes WE are all joining the admissions servers for all the places we get admitted to and inputting our instagram handles so we farm followers
😄 😄 😄
the rice server is linked to the portal and i found it really comedic when i saw it
This is the method
who is we?
Yeah still reject vandy and NU
sheesh
twin rice will be our school tonight
FRR
wasnt 2025 more brutal or are both years bad
looking forward to seeing some of yall there
i would constantly put my college in and out of my bio when i got in
yooo look who it is
i might take it out im kinda bored of it
There are ppl who believe in me. I can't fall easily
my absolute goat
im remember some kid getting wl from cmu last year and didn't get into any of the ivies
LMAOOO
life is full of unexpected turns
reginald #3

Low-key a win
Recently I fell in a lil depressive period and my hygiene was kinda bad
Luckily, things got a lil better
How do I go back in time by sleeping?

yeah they matter a lot i dear
Trash can and I buy a new phone right

Very generous
the answer was rice
Are ur parents russian or slavic by chance?
i hear they tend to be generous to boost yield
Were they like prescreened or what
no! nigerian
how much do you guys think the interview plays a role? Cause my person really liked me
omg twin
hoping for the best its my dreamm unii
it's considered!!
itll help u but idk to what extent
it depends how early you put in a request
Good luck!
Oh! Cuz Zina is a very popular name in postsoviet countries
I didnt put in a request
@cedar smelt any last second tips for how to manifest?
my out of the box photo was so bad omg
same might be cooked
Not a huge component of your application. May make or break? Who knows
i've heard there is a decent correlation between requesting/doing an interview & admission so prolly a good sign!
is rice out?
Uh idk last year ed1 came out at 6 am so I just slept

good thing it's not considered lol
No 16 mins
Fellow owls, next 15 minutes gonna be amazing
it’s out in 16 minutes
i hope
its dumb how it was ont he portal
i didnt know you had to manually request until the last minute so i put it super late and didnt get one lol

Oh I didnt want one anyway so its all good
