Rice University Graduate School Admission Results

only applied to 2 programs and was admitted to both. wishing everyone the best with the admissions cycle!!

Expected since they only accept about 4-5 students per year. Good luck to everyone as we are nearing the end of the admissions process! 6a/1w/6r/1p

Interview invitation

Grateful to have received *somewhat* good news, but tbh I am super unimpressed with the format they use to request an interview (request you to fill out an Excel spreadsheet with your availability and upload it to DropBox) - seems kinda unprofessional. US undergrad from 40-50th ranked school, 2-year Fed RA, completely blew the GRE, no publications

Received an interview invitation. In the last year, some people interviewed with PhD students and others with admission committee. Not sure how it will work this year.

received an interview invitation

Applied prior prioritások deadline. So sad it was my first choice.

Masters GPA 4.0 in CS. One pre-print publication (not first author). To the person annoyingly writing wait-list entries below: I applied after the priority deadline.

Applied after the priority deadline, received first update today -an email stating that the status had been updated. Generic letter of rejection on application portal.

I was also interviewed with them on Feb 11 and received a 'waitlist' notification via email last night. I have no idea how many candidates are in the waitlist too! But I saw one person got accepted on Jan 28! Btw good luck to you all !

I am the previous poster who wrote that I have been waitlisted. Yes, I was interviewed on 11th and I received an official email from them yesterday that I have been put on their waitlist. Since you were also interviewed but you did not hear from them, it looks like they have implicitly rejected you, but I could be wrong. Maybe they are going to send you an offer, because no one has posted about offers yet. Best of luck.

To the poster below: did you get an official email that you were waitlisted? I did not hear from them after the interview. Thanks.

[NOT INTERVIEW] Is there anyone who received the interview invitation after uploading the adv courses sheet? Last year the interview information was sent to the applicants on President's day.

I had my interview on 11 Feb and was put on waitlist. To the other poster who posted rejected - Did you also have interview? Does anyone knows how many are on the waitlist? If they put everyone they interviewed on the waitlist or, if they have put only a select few on the waitlist and rejected others after the interviews? Thanks to anyone if anyone can offer any ideas.
