<p>I'm already so anxious about decisions, and it's not even March. I know that there are others who are just as impatient as I am. I wanted to start a general discussion thread to help us pass the time until they come out.
Hi. My name is Ben. I'm from South Carolina. I am looking to major in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I enjoy TV (especially "Survivor"), traveling, and reading/learning about animals.</p>
<p>I am in the same boat as you! I just want the decision already haha.
I applied for Architecture. Rice would be a dream come true.</p>
<p>I know they were released on March 22 last year. Does anyone have any info about a date?</p>
<p>All I know is that April 1st is the latest day they’ll let us know. I think as we get closer to the date they’ll give us a more specific date. But I’m getting more and more anxious with every day!</p>
<p>I don’t think you’ll know in advance. There will be strong speculation and I can assure you that it will be roughly in the same time frame as the year before. Waiting is the hardest part!</p>
<p>If I don’t get into Rice or MIT l can’t be billionaire anymore…;.</p>
<p>Those schools admit people who have the characteristics of what it takes to be a billionaire, they do not make them :-). In other words, if you are meant to be a billionaire, you can do what it takes with an education from any school. It’s about passion and determination, and you can have that anywhere :-).</p>
<p>Has anyone seen dates yet for Owl Days or Admit Days 2014?</p>
<p>Does everyone see the Fin Aid tab that says Accept Award Offer under Award Status? You can see it, but it is in light grey so you can’t click on it yet? I never noticed that before.</p>
<p>Same to me.</p>
<p>Where were you guys able to see this? When you logged into the Rice Admission Student Portal?</p>
<p>Nevermind, found it. It’s the same for me.</p>
<p>Where is it? Is it on Esther? </p>
<p>Yeah. Mine son’s is the same. And he is not necessarily expecting merit … just hoping to get in and get decent financial aid.</p>
<p>I didn’t apply for FA but was hoping for a chance to receive merit aid… Hope this doesn’t mean rejection~</p>
<p>Yeah, on Esther there are a few tabs that apparently weren’t there before. They are currently greyed out.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if we will get our decision on Esther or on our admissions portal?</p>
<p>From the experience of my friend who got in ED, emails.
And it’s an instant happy/sad/ what the crap(for waitlist) from the first line. So nothing funky. </p>
<p>how about your admission and/or esther account ? Did they update the web sites?</p>
<p>Dunno, the email is pretty straight forward so I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t update it online.
FYI my friend is an international so it might be slightly different for domestics.</p>
