<p>definitely just international students. ive been checking my email every 5 minutes for the past 2 days. the suspense is killing me. goodluck everybody</p>
<p>A lot of the other colleges already sent out their letters. My facebook is filled with “I got accepted into Standford/Cornell/etc”</p>
<p>So does that mean, if you’re an international applicant, and haven’t recieved any notification, you’re rejected? 
:(</p>
<p>By “international applicant”, do you mean you have a foreign passport(non-US) and applied as an international student?</p>
<p>Good luck, all of you. BUT - if you didn’t get accepted ED, you may have been deferred to the RD round, so don’t give up hope. They do accept students in RD round who have been deferred… not to mention, some students from the waitlist in June…<br>
Good luck, but don’t despair!!! (And there are a lot of other good colleges out there, if Rice doesn’t end up being an option for you!) :)</p>
<p>so does it mean that if you have received a FedEx email, you are accepted???</p>
<p>To LOURAY:Calm down. If u have the faith, u will make it!
To musiclover39: this is not necessarily true because some students receive package even without the notification.
To tiiger011:exactly！
To mfan2015: Don’t know yet.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if you can tell anything by whether or not you have received a Fed Ex notification. Can you look at tracking and tell what day your Fed Ex is expected to arrive – maybe that will give us a clue as to when decisions will be announced.</p>
<p>It’s possible that they’re sending out decisions to international applicants in multiple batches, so don’t lose hope if you didn’t get an email from FedEx yet. But if you don’t end up getting one, then there’s still the possibility that you’re just deferred :\ I know that’s not the news some of you are looking for. Good luck to some of you! And welcome to Rice to others!</p>

<p>what does the 25% mean?</p>
<p>it means 25% of early applicants get accepted</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>One in 4 gets in.</p>
<p>I am supposed to receive the package before 6pm today…So, just wait.</p>
<p>I am an international student and I have received the email from Fedex. Does that mean I have been admitted?</p>
<p>Yes! Congrats! Welcome to Rice :)</p>
<p>wayarice - your 6 pm tonight is… what time in the states?</p>
<p>probably 4am in Houston</p>
<p>i don’t think we will receive the package before 6pm because the status is still “initiated”.</p>
<p>I don’t know…a friend applying rochester received her package today.</p>
<p>Yes, I agree. Hopefully I can receive it on Dec 14th.</p>
