"Yeah we love our SOAR kids" โค๏ธโ๐ฉน

im clinging on nonexistent hope on rice waiting list
My parents wanted me to stay in town lol, now I don't have a choice hahaa

They were guilt tripping me fr
damn bruh
i woulda ed'd to rice if i had the money ๐ญ
ig it was meant to be though
Alright I am putting more ss on Pls in my username
maybe rejection was always supossed to happen
better things to come
i went rejected nw vandy usc wl rice
and before that i had an 8 rejection streak
shit
only real acceptances are purdue and uiuc
Of course dude! Donโt beat yourself up. Everything happens for a reason
did u get in?
Nah I got rejected lmao
shi what
yo what schools did u get accepted waitlisted and rejected
if u dont mind me asking
bro is harvard
nooo im sorry
Texan I hear???
Si
What major
It's ok I wish I could've gone to Owl Days with one of my friends but it's allg
Math
I had dogshit essays for MIT
So it was p expected tbh
Oh sick!! Imma dual in math :D
Awesome
im such a waitlist magnet ๐
Yo give me a tour of Harvard and I'll give you one of Yale
sorry dude
what city/area if ur comfortable sharing?
DFW ๐
Yeah it's allg
Just cant believe they flew all of us out js to slime us
That's still crazy to me
yeah idk man
congrats
@drifting jolt do u think ur app was too good for rice?
or just bad fit
was there anythign specific u thikn got u into harard
(mb if im asking too much)
Idk abt bad fit
I'd say my rice interview was the best interview I had for a longshot and I think I emphasized fit a lot
nice im from san antonio
did u have good stats
Along with "flyin boost"
Got into Harvard
are rice merit scholarships out?
Nahhh I got into Harvard with shit stats actually
Asking if good stats lmaoo
i think expecting every t20 is crazy tho
im p sure ppl feel like making every t20 is a possibility
If you are at that level you would
its delusional
When did anyone ever say that that wasnt crazy
๐ญ
sm1 did
EVERY t20??
I got fucking cooked today
hope its a good sign for tomororw
what u get
Rejected vandy, NU
๐ญ
Accept usc and wl rice
Thanks man
Just sucks because I had a great application for rice
Iโm not Iโm about to commit to GT ๐ญ
Cornell and UPenn not happing
GT is crazy
Happening
Probably
just got ivies + stanford left to end this misery
Yeah Iโd probs do EE at gtech
bro i got wl rice rejcted nw usc vandy
at this rate, same but for ut
We had the same schools today
Somehow I got into usc but thatโs probs luck
congrats!!!
what major?
Econ + data science at usc
wtf I got in
Congrats!!!
dang i applied aerospace
Thatโs probs harder
I got int sum bs program
Does getting into rice mean I got into whatever major i applied as?
bro i got into rice but
im in chats with a lot of other ppl
i feel like they wl a lot of insanely cracked ppl for some reason
idk why they would do that
i got rejected from uci ucsb ucsd and ucla too btw
I feel like they have a hunch
p sure u can switch
Just different priorities. That's all
wdym by hunch
i think rice and vandy both took that into account
potentially northwestern
im in chats with some insanely cracked ppl who got wl all
some of them alr got in their school early
Oh I dont wanna switch but like I know some schools admit you but not for your major
uh idts
i think rice its just the school
just intended school
i signed up for everything for rice and showed a lot of interest and did the website method
Idk i kinda forget it doesnt say anything about my major anywheree
i think i was able to show a good amnt of interest
It's just random and unpredictable. So many factors and too little spots.
thats def true
to get waitlisted all is crazy with their apps
im happy i got in tho
congrats to all who get in
i spent a lot of time on my rice apps
but im sad abt tomorrow
my stomach hurts and i feel weird
remember to sign up for owl days if you're still deciding
Idk i read about rice while I was applying and they said to focus a lot more on like, yes why you wanna wanna academics and stuff, but also like about helping ur community and providing diversity to campus
they all did that
their apps are better than mine
one of them got a letter from a hypsm school before RD came out
they dont go to my school tho
and also sometimes its all about who reads your app I guess
you got in??
yea
And the specific things they connected to
im talking abt my friends
im rlly sad
I only have Stanford and Berkeley
Sometime in the near future
idk what to do
You should celebrate obvv ๐ค
just go to school anad try it out. Becuase you can always drop out, but getting in again, now that's hard
i want to but
my dream was sm schools coming tomorrow
realistically those are the ones i would go to
i know i might sound insensetive
mb
i dont feel happy rn im just very unsure
p much all tomorrow
yes
Idk i kinda
Don't obsess and idolize schools. You already got into amazing schools like Rice, don't underestimate that
all the big schools and i feel its goign to be crazy
Didn't apply to any ivies
got into rd vandy btw
I think u have p good changes
chances
What else is tmr besides ivies
Really?
I am a highly uneducated applicant๐ฝ
berkley
So far I have been rejected from
CMU
MIT
GTech
Darn Gtech..
My T1 Stanford tho so if I get in there I donโt really care
The only loss would be Competitive comps because MIT is way better at those.
waitlist warrior nice
10 REJECTIONS LATER WE GOT INTO RICE IT ONLY TAKES ONE
I need to ask the comparison threads about Rice vs UT but I cant really help anyone else
Indeed it does! Congratulationsss
Real
Congrats!
Reply to 2 other queries...
As an international getting into Rice is no small feat ๐ฅณ
CONGRATSSSS
VERY GRATEFUL
Congrats all!
Congrats to y'all!
congrats everyone
I got in after being deferred!!!
Iโm actually so excited my friends go there and they said that like no one gets through
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions)
stop copying me pls
โฆ
did all of you come from the server smh
I'll be signing off this server you guys
Rice was my last decision so that commences my college application journey
I seriously appreciate the kindness I've experienced from the people in this server
I have no doubt the Rice community will change the world for the better! I'll be cheering from the sidelines.
Thank you all so muchโค๏ธ
hey is rice accommodative when it comes to fin aid after admission?
or like reducing cost of attendance
im intl tho and i initially clicked no for fin aid when i applied
ohh i see
idk exactly how it works if u applied for no aid initially but worst they can say is no
yes, you can schedule meeting with fin aid office and they can review your fin aid, as they did for me
true ive emailed them i might call them tmr too
ohh yes ill do that
thank you!
oh, i guess then probably no
yea ill just try anyway
they usually say that if you said no, you are not elligible for fin aid, but you should still try to email them
dont forget to join the new student server too, there are probably people who can tell u more about that there
They should consider your appeal! Unless you are an international student, in which Rice is need-aware and your acceptance was contingent on the fact that you were full-pay
Unless you applied for aid as an international student, got accepted, and you are appealing that aid
ohh i see ty!
yayy i just got let in to the discord
hi!! I heard there was a discord server
check your app portal
just found it!! tysm
Welp, I believe our journey in this thread ends here. To be frank, out of all the other college threads Iโm in, I found rice to be the most fun and most active one to be a part of. It was a great sport having yโall in my journey. I hope you each accomplish the many great things life holds for us.
See yโall. It was a good time.
guys letโs be real..
will i get off the wlโฆ
๐ญ
mannnn
i rlly wanted rice
oh well
i honestly think 100+ ppl will get off the waitlist this year
ik sm years was brutal but
they dont release much
from college mind if they can fit another kid and get their money it prob would be worth it
esp to fund more admin pay
out of 4,000
๐ชฆ
We are a small school
We already accepted more people this year since we are aiming to increase enrollment.
ik im saying huge waitlist so its prob not gonna be me
is rice need aware when looking ar wl
apparently wl are like a loophole for need blind schools
finally
join the discord
real, if it had a discord logo or something next to it
yeah thats funny asl too
that an actual college has a discord server
LMFAO
let me into rice ๐ญ
oooooh
Lolll yeah we just skim right past it ๐ฅ
guys I'm not going to the US am I
fuck if we know bro
I BELIEVE IN U
hey guys
they are need blind for domestic students
and the new college!
waitlist is diff tho
you sure?
not 100% but most need blind schools arenโt in the waitlist
it is need blind
I wasnโt full expecting to get in here but that waitlist hurts so bad. Congrats to everyone who got in tho ๐ beautiful campus
IMO no
Congrats
Not it isnโt
No*
Itโs very good for engineering tho
kinda stuck between rice and ut for cs adjacent w biomedical engineering
okay
i see
cuz gatech is asking for way less
and rice is like 105k dollars
per annum
I mean gtech is known for engineering
So if youโre dead set on that def go to gtech
i wanna do engineering, but then i wanna go for post grad study too
top masters programs
yeah i got into Aerospace and electrical there
which are apparently top 1 and top 3 respectively
but i also heard rice is known more than a few ivieis
so yeah
Congrats
Overall rice is ranked above gtech bc theyโre better in other stuff
While gtech is rly only good at engineering
But gtech is like top 5 engineering school
my friends who leaned aerospace at Rice enjoyed the fact that we had great connections to NASA and other aerospace institutions. don't know if that's something you're considering
I fear I may not be going to rice ๐
BME rice, CS UT
I wanted to study aerospace, the main thing about Rice is there's NASA right by plus other partnerships
exactly
make sure your contact info is up to date
they will call you if you get off the waitlists / email you
a lot of people get off the waitlist6
statistically you are more likely to get off the waitlist at rice than a lot of other schools (in a good way)
late to respond but HELL YEAH DUDE
Yep I did that when I filled waitlist form
I applied to sports analytics and legit had placement in comps for sports analytics, publications in the field etc why more do they want
i really hope i can too
iโm happy i even got on the wl tho
at such a comp school
gj
we believe in u
looking like a bloodbath out there
Rice RD

Rejected
โ
Rice is extremely well known for bio engineering
We are pretty high ranked for that discipline
Im international thoโฆ
im really interested in both majors ๐ญ but i feel like rice is more open to double majoring so that might be a plus
Oh yea of course. Keep in mind tho thatโll be a very heavy workload. I would probably recommend doing a BS bioeng and a BA in cs
If anything, I would do BS bioeng and minor in data science and another mathy minor lol
Bc those are two heavy majors
ok, thanks for ur input!!
and...?
Iโm doing bioe at rice and itโs well known
Wait a moment can u go to DMs rq
idt they would allow international students to work in defense sectors
since i dont have a PR or citizenship or anything like that
fair enough
got in somehow?????
i still think going to UT austin vs this might be better for me since i would have to pay full price
but still really cool
get in
YESSSSS CONGRATULATIONS
I laughed when I saw how much Iโd have to pay for Rice
I needa get off the waitlist
maybe
Real
Gl
we hope!
same
thank u thank u
We genuinely believe in u
does anyone know when rice wl loci is due by
thanks
i rlly need to hop off the waitlist cause i cant pay for purdue nor uiuc
uhhhhh, probably before may 1st
probably sooner rather than later tbh
wait
No, Iโm Hella wrong
I saw a percentage next to it that was 30%. The actual percentage is fine.
๐ข
For Fall 2024 they took abouyt 10% of the class from the waitlist
all depends on what yield rate is and the needs of the uni to fill the incoming class
oh what
How many people accepted off the waitlist put down a deposit
Donโt think thatโs public knowledge unfriendly
Unfortunately*
And itโs not like the school has the incentive to reveal that information โ ๏ธ
Unless itโs like a 100%
yea no what I thought is that some people might get off but say no? So idk maybe it inflates the numb
I only saw yes or no for waitlist on my portal
donโt see a loci request
where do we submit a loci?
email Admission
you'd need to say yes to the waitlist offer first, i think
Ok thanks
Who here is on Rice WL
me
Good luck, hope u can get off it!
ty
why am i syracuse
usna...
u gotta go now
gotta withdraw from rice too
i meant lice
or maybe i meant jale ๐ญ
JALE
lol why is the rice discord server jale now ๐ฅ๐ฅ
me
me
lmao
hopefully yโall can get off!
ok
i need to get off this waitlist man
gl
?
You got this!
gl
for anyone that applied ED and got in, did you get a good financial aid package? Also, do they give you less if you apply early as its binding
fin aid does not matter on decision round (im ed1)
also yes i got like 89k in aid
rice aid is good (there are other unis with better aid if thats your condition)
i don't think aid is discriminated between ED/RD. especially not need based aid
This one got me
woa rice acceptance package has personalized banner
I just saw stickers huh..
This being one of my dream schools just for me to end up picking UT 
o what
its like a folder thing w a buncha things
Lemme check again
fellow cs
Oh
well im not fs choosing ut
oh yea its a piece of paper
UT gave a whole tower ๐
lmao
GT is Georgia Tech right?
Between who?
ut and gt
ya i replied to it

Then yu already know๐ฝ
Im happy w my decision even though im lowkey getting like
Small private school fomo


yea lwk i like smaller
Idk both have their advantages igg
I feel like theres more stuff at bigger but you also might get lost in the crowd
Bro Iโm so sad
My banner is bent ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Whoever does mail around my area bent all of my acceptance letters
Itโs actually so cool tho they referenced something in one of my essays
yess
wait thats what i was saying
#1418457784172675182 message
personalized to ur esay
Oh
I thought you meant
The name

MINE IS SO VAUGE WHAT
๐ก
Literally Copy paste to any CS applicant
We cant wait to see how your technical acuity, analytical mindset & programming passion will impact the rice community
CS is like one of their biggest majors be realll
My essays were about CS but they were about my experience teaching CS and my passion for helping others
And then my other one was about eating various foods and how it helped me learn about culture
oop
And then the last one was about how my closet tells a story about me
i think thye messed up a lil on urs
"Ok uhm CS application #273 lets just do the usual๐ฝ "
Idk it feels too vague to be that personalized
My guess is they see what major you applied as
no like mine wasnt vague
๐ญ
What'd yours say if its not too personal
1 sec
And you applied to CS I assume?
