Hi! Ignore Waitlist! Has anyone not received anything from Rice yet? I saw all types of decisions here but I have not heard anything from them. My portal is still the same as before, showing {“ If you need to contact us regarding your application, provide your name and this reference number: …” and below it is the checklist.}

Ignore the interview. Did anyone receive an offer from the Rice physics program this year? I saw there are many offers from the applied physics program posted on Gradcafe, but there is no offer from the physics program. Did anyone hear back from Rice after submitted the application?

I'm the one got rejected in 8 March. I knew this POI before so he told me he couldn't hire any PhDs this year. Perhaps the recommendation from POI is crucial in RICE.
