<p>Okay, "Matthew.Rhinehea" STOP SAYING THAT. It's probably from Shakespeare, but who knows.</p>
<p>It's getting incredibly annoying...</p>
<p>does scholarship info/ financial aid only come in the mail or can you access it online somewhere? Also if it only comes in the mail will it come with the acceptance letter or like a week later by itself?
Thanks</p>
<p>Last year my son received info about his merit scholarships (yes, plural) in the large envelope with his acceptance letter. It arrived the day after he received the e-mail because we're in Texas. Good luck everyone. And by the way, he LOVES Rice!</p>
<p>anybody knows the difference between waitlist and priority waitlist.</p>
<p>^^I'm thinking priority people get considered first.</p>
<p>i got my decision via e-mail this morning.. when i checked it in class.. like 715 am..</p>
