ryko212 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I only ask because I have only noticed a few people with acceptances so I am still holding out hope.....
doppler Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I read somewhere on the Rice website that decisions are made in mid- February. And a come of acceptances did pop up on the results page around that time. I, like you, haven't received anything from them yet. Good luck to all of us.
arienandthesun Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Here is what I know from a friend at Rice. They already made decisions and recruiter weekend was like 2-3 weeks ago. I got an unofficial rejection from a prof but I haven't received any official notifications, he told me I will. There may still be some hope for being waitlisted but I don't think they will ever tell you you are waitlisted.

So Rice is out, gave up hope on UTAustin sometime back, and I don't care too much about UMN, Dartmouth and TAMU one way or the other. UPenn is the last bit of hope for me it seems.
ryko212 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 I guess I should have specified the fact that I only applied for masters program..... Are we the bastard children of the admissions process and are the last to know?
arienandthesun Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 checking the results page there is an entry: Rice University Computer Science, PhD Other via E-mail on 17 Mar 2009 I Sent them an email to check if all admits are complete. Turns out "The graduate admissions committee is still in the process of reviewing all applications. Please be patient, and you will be notified soon by email when final decisions are made." so my guesses are kind of true. expect to hear sth after april 15.
ryko212 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Just got my acceptance from Rice University for the Masters program....definitely excited as this is the primary school I wanted to attend!
doppler Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Is there anybody who applied for a PhD (Rice) and is still waiting? I wonder if they would let us know before April 15th. I got a fellowship in the Univ of Virginia, and I am not sure I can hold on to it after April 15. @ Ryko212. Congratulations. Did you get any financial aid?
ryko212 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks for the congrats! I did not receive any financial aid, but the Army is footing the bill for me so no worries there. I hope you find out as well!
ryko212 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Received my accept for UvA today as well. It's turning out to be a great day!
MaximKat Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Check UVa website, it seems that they don't even bother with sending rejection e-mails.
xerzewatt Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Both Rice and UVa rejected in 2 days. What a happy day
