When and how did Rice release decisions?
Show more
They like to call all people that are accepted prior to releasing the decisions. The official decision date is 12/17. I received a phone call yesterday from admissions letting me know I was accepted. Later in the day I received an email saying that the decision was available in the website. Hope that helps.

I'm in the same Kenan-Flagler boat for January 3rd. I'm not saying it's a bad position in which to be. I'd just like to hear from McCombs before that time. It would be an easy decision for me to choose McCombs since I'm from Houston and would like to live somewhere in Texas after business school. It's not impossible from KF but is just a little more work.

Trust me it's no more than 5$.

https://www.wes.org/students/igpacalc.asp

Select the country and enter your marks from the transcripts. Once you are done and click calculate they will tell you the cost. I vividly remember it to be 5$ and an email was sent with the gpa

Texas's application asks you to input grades from upper level courses only (300 level and above in my case). For a lot of folks, that's their last two years of school.

piggles, great going man.

Darkranger,
Hey, I think we should enter 10+2 i.e. Intermediate.

One more thing you can find the Intermediate Board of Education in the list, you don't need to enter your college name.
You will even find your 10th board of examination in there.

I hope it makes sense.

I'm about 90% sure that I'm going to accept. Just waiting on UCLA, but I'm still leaning hard towards Texas. How about you?

Just got a call too! I'm IN! Great way to kick-off the weekend :-)

She said the deadline is Feb 15th for the deposit and we would hear about possible $$ before then.

Good luck everyone!

Congrats, it's good to have that option, though Rice does seem like a very attractive proposition. Did you ask about what scholarships McCombs was willing to offer?

I did but they said scholarship decisions would be made before the acceptance deadline of feb 15

As for status I haven't seen any chnage yet..I think those types of updates are handled by the students on the ad com, and they won't be back until January
