Acceptance Letters

<p>The anticipation for any form of letter from Rice is killing me and, in theory, we still have half a month to go! =O
I just wanted to ask you all if we recive the letters /on/ the 15th, if they are sent out on the 15th, or if there is a chance in recieving them before the 15th.</p>

<p>I got a letter from Rice today (small envelope)

<p>About financial aid options. Thanks for the heart attack, Rice :) But I seriously want to find out before Monday, December 14 (?) so I know how much to study for finals. This is so frustrating!</p>

<p>I think that they are all mailed from the school on the 15th. So however long it takes mail to get to your house from Houston. I figure it should be about five days to get to Alaska so I don't get to know until the 20th!!!! I am so nervous but I am pretty resigned to my fate of a small envelope. Oh well. Hope springs eternal right??</p>

<p>I received my letter on Dec. 11th last year. Your letter should most likely come before Dec. 15th. Decisions will be posted online by the 15th.</p>

<p>Wow can you really get them online? I thought that they didn't do that? So when they say "student notified by the 15th" that means that they could mail the letters before that? I guess I will have to go camp out in the post office for the rest of December!!</p>

<p>I got mine on the 12th last year and they became online on the 15th.</p>

<p>Hell, I think I'll just skips school to chase the postman around so I am sure to get it ASAP. ^_^</p>

<p>Gaahhhhhh!!!</p>

<p>I Can't Take The Wait Anymore!!!!!!</p>

<p>Only two weeks and we will all know!! So nervous I am having problems concentrating in school. Isn't it scary that most of our applications have already been decided on? They are just sitting out there....</p>

<p>.
They really should just let you know as soon after the fact as possible instead of makin us wait sooo long. =]</p>

<p>They are mailed - regular mail - such that most of them get it by 15th. So kids closer to Rice receive them sooner.</p>

<p>I'm excited, but at the same time dreading it a little.</p>

<p>eek! I can't wait either. I live in Houston, so I'll probably get mine first. >.<</p>

<p>I'm just dreading it. Yet I need to know..... Only two weeks!!!!!! That's the day before my school starts Christmas break. So it has the chance to destroy my entire break.</p>

<p>My Christmas break starts a full week after yours :(</p>

<p>Yeah- really! Your school district must love you guys or something! We get out the 22nd or 23rd I believe. -.-
Anyway, 'under'/or 14 days! wheeee!</p>

<p>That is crazy. You guys must start school later than us as our first day is usually August 25th. So you only get a week for Christmas? 13 more days and we should know......</p>

<p>o_o No way. You start the 25th? We started around the 18th. Silly Texas schools!</p>

<p>you guys are scarin me i haven't even applied yet. i should done ED cuz rice is my fav. good luck anyways</p>

<p>Anybody else apply ID? I did, and I'm pretty glad that I got it done with and out of my hands...now all I can do is wait...</p>
