Waitlisted Any R1 waitlist who got admitted here? Posted from my mobile device

mba94 , you may check now. Hopefully it would have got updated.

Can we know our waitlist number? Also, is telling you have been waitlisted a nicer way of saying you are rejected? Applied in R2?

They waitlisted me without even a single assignment. Lol

Waitlisted without virtual assessment. Looks like this cycle is extremely competitive.

Any thoughts/ anyone currently in the Professional MBA program? I was recently accepted, my background 32 years old, entrepreneur in Energy & RE/ Construction (I know it is a different background than most). I have read alot (visited the campus and heard about the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship), which is a big pull for me; especially as I try to expand my business and secure Venture Capital/ outside funding and a strong network in Houston (all my business is local/ across the state). I saw that the acceptance rate is generally 2x (65% vs the 35-40% for full time). Understanding that as a PMBA you will be on campus and have the same access to all the resources the full time students do, with the exception of the internship opp; what are your thoughts? Is it worth the money, the time pursuing if my goals are to continue my current business? I am currently (personally) debt free, I went to undergrad on a full scholarship and have been out of school for 10 or so years, graduated 2 years early from Tulane. Appreciate the thoughts, especially those that are current Rice MBA students and their experiences. John
