I wrote an email to my recruiter at Rice and asked about the status of my application still being "submitted". Haven’t heard back from him. What is going on?

+1 same case, no response. Status stuck at "Submitted". Also, my portal was marked for GRE when I had submitted a GMAT score. I'm paranoid since. CC your email to - ricemba@rice.edu

Are they going to hand out a rejection even without reviewing our applications?

Bummer really, atleast take a look it took some effort

Is it mandatory to submit official Test Scrores before decision date ?

Nope. I even asked them that are there any additional materials I need to submit and there’s just no repsonse from their end

FYI, I see the following on their website "As you work on your application, you will be required to upload a copy of your GRE/GMAT or EA test score. During the application process, please submit the official test score report. As of July 1, 2024, official test score reports will be required in order to receive an admissions decision."
