Only ED2 to a top school to come out so far is Rice.



Come on, no one goes to Rice for Humanities. if she were STEM, it might make sense.


Whatever. Your DC would never have a chance, stem or humanity.

Sorry you are an ignorant troll. Baker Institute, I bet you never heard of it.


I know the difference between a public policy think tank and the humanities. Do you?

They all disappeared. Not a single one came back reporting results.


This is the first time I witnessed an OP came back, and with wonderful news too. Congrats!

Rice ED2 makes a lot of sense with OP's kid's stats. t's a fantastic school and was reachy but not an overshot.

Well played OP!!! Congratulations!

Isn't Rice ED2 like 6% acceptance rate or something? Lower than RD. OP, getting in that way is an impressive feat!

Congrats! Who knew your original concern would turn into a 41 page thread? Fingers crossed for everyone else and hoping RD yields positive news.
