<p>Wait now, does someone actually know when we're gonna get our decisions?</p>
<p>I don't anyone does for sure. It's not out of the question that they could be online tonight...last year they began to come online on the 6th, which was the friday before the 10th. With a drop in applications this year, you never know...I'm guessing monday evening at the very latest.</p>
<p>wait... there was a drop in apps this year?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>A simple search will help you in finding the thread.</p>
<p>They will most likely mail decisions on Monday or Tuesday.</p>
<p>are they going to email us or just post them on the web page?</p>
<p>ecnerwalc: according to smazn, "they send an email with the title "Admission Status Change" w/ the link...all you have to do is login and see the updated status...good luck to IDers!!! "</p>
<p>Haha, I'm still checking the page anyway : p.</p>
<p>Monday or Tuesday?! Looking forward to it!!</p>
<p>Joey</p>
<p>yup, they told me that they will be very busy this weekned. The lights of Lovett Hall is burning full blast.</p>
<p>When will I be able to find out my online decision? anyone know??</p>
<p>how bout this, the second anyone finds out, post so that the rest of us can make a mad dash to the website</p>
<p>That sounds like a good plan. In fact, that's probably what'll happen anyway....</p>
<p><em>has twisted vision of a few thousand Rice applicants logging on to the admissions check site at the same time so rapidly that the server crashes and no one finds out until the mail arrives</em></p>
<p>haha, emilia....collegeboard's server died because of that mad rush. I can see it too.</p>
<p>On behalf of all the Rice ED'ers,</p>
<p>BEST OF LUCK TO ALL THE ID APPLICANTS!</p>
<p>Lol, yeah, I remember the day when the collegeboard server crashed and I didn't get to see my SAT score until a few days later. </p>
<p>Thanks collegekid!</p>
<p>Perhaps Rice hosts the admissions decisions on a separate server that is capable of the load.</p>
<p>i think that the number of people on cc is enough for the servers to handle. besides if the server is down, I will start using the phone .... lol.. I can just imagine my tone of voice "What do you mean the server is down, I want my decision NOW" lol, I would never really do that but still , I really hope the server doesnt crash</p>
<p>'Twas just a joke you all :p. I doubt Rice's server will go down - because even though those of us who are anxiously awaiting decisions and spending time posting here are certainly going to hit the website at the same time (haha) I'm sure there must be ID applicants who aren't all that interested in Rice and will totally forget the significance of Feb. 10th or thenabouts. So let's just relax...play some Neopets....do scholarship applications...concentrate on finishing your senior year well, eh?</p>
<p>Or, other alternative while waiting: you can always IM me and we can have a nice long chat about anything at all. I'm sitting here quite bored on AIM.</p>
<p>lol emilia, neopets...gosh that thing is ancient. I left after it had that incredible inflation with the marketplace/neopoints...</p>
