<p>I heard from someone that for some schools, even if you're not applying ED, will let you know their decision pretty far ahead of time if you sent in your app early. I'm applying interim to Rice, but I sent in my app months ago (no idea why really), so is there a chance I'll get a reply earlier?</p>
<p>nope.......</p>
<p>Yeah I had my early decision Rice application in nearly two months before the deadline. And I still won't find out until next week.</p>
<p>i havent heard of anyone getting their ID decision earlier except for those invited to Vision Weekend, which, although they say does not mean you're accepted, is a pretty damn good sign.</p>
<p>everyone finds out around the same time, regardless of when you sent it in before the deadline.
