Acceptance Letters

<p>Yeah i know. The scary thing is that the admissions board has most likely already made their decision on us.</p>

<p>Yeah, not trying to be annoying or whatever, but they finished their decisions today.</p>

<p>Did they really? Sorry, i thought that would have finished with decisions much earlier.</p>

<p>Yay! They finished! w00p! So, then, does that mean the letters will be out the 10th-ish for sure?</p>

<p>i have no clue... i would guess that people in houston area would get them around the 10th but everyone else would get them next week ?</p>

<p>Anyone know when decisions will be posted online?</p>

<p>I hope we get them soon. By the way, what did you guys put in your boxes in the application?</p>

<p>holy moly i'm scared.. i'm in the houston area.. wow, nerves. the 10th is right before finals for me, if i get rejected i'm so going to fail. hahhaha.</p>

<p>my box wasn't that creative.. i cut out a square of a music score slanted-ish and pasted it in the box, then painted an ocean sunset type thing over it in watercolor.. hahah went a good 1-2 inches outside of the box per my friend's advice to not view the edges as a boundary.. then i glued a plastic toy stethescope on top of it all. cause medicine and everything. </p>

<p>my friend folded a lot of paper hearts and put pictures of her interests inside of them.</p>

<p>decisions are online on the 15th</p>

<p>I made a board game out of it. =)</p>

<p>I am nervous. After the 10th I begin some of my IB oral presentations and I know that the decision is going to affect my performance. Aahh, a week from today we will most likely know whether or not we are in.</p>

<p>One week to go!</p>

<p>Does anyone know when the decision will go online or if it ever does???? It takes first class and priority mail two weeks to get here from TX and I really don't want to wait that long....</p>

<p>I am nervous for you guys! I am a freshmen here and I wish you guys all the best through this process. Don't worry about it if you get rejected! I know that it will seem like the end of the world when it happens, but it really isn't! I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and you probably won't see why at the time, but I am sure you will realize later why things happen the way they did.</p>

<p>I met a guy here who got rejected twice and got accepted his third time he applied as a transfer. I don't know if that makes you guys feel any better, but I guess I am just trying to say that don't give up even if you get rejected! This guy didn't and I don't think that any of you guys should either. If you think that Rice is where you want to be and you don't make it in, don't freak out, just continue your life and apply again. There are a lot of reasons why someone could be rejected so don't beat yourself up thinking about the "Should Haves, Could Haves, Would Haves." You guys tried your hardest in highschool and you should be proud of your all of your accomplishments.</p>

<p>Just like torrestowers, I wish all of you prospies the best of luck!! Just remember, whether you are accepted or not, whatever happens will happen for a reason. =)</p>

<p>Thank you guys. I really want to get in and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I live in El Paso, TX so hopefully i'll get the letter on the 12th.</p>

<p>I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE <em>arteries bursting</em> <em>hemmorrage</em></p>

<p>Call an ambulance for RabidRabbit! I think his rabies are getting to him.</p>

<p>Aaah!!! One more week. I would really appreciate it if torrestowers or twinklestar146 could review my stats and tell me what chances I have of getting in. My stats are on <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=123345%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=123345&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Honestly it feels like all I have done this month is wait. And we still have like a week left...................</p>

<p>there was totally another update done to my admission check thinger (the date changed), but i can't tell if anything was really updated, and it doesn't tell my my decision :((((</p>

<p>it's like they're teasing me</p>
