Long Wait for Interim Decision

<p>I applied interim to Rice and it takes 2 stinking month for a decision while ED only takes about 1 month. Wat is up with that? I am really worried about my stats b/c they're not very good. I also messed up on what to put in the box on the application. Wat did yall put?</p>

<p>Gah, I don't want to wait either. I wish I had applied ED, but it was not possible due to the fact that I couldn't take the SAT II's until December.</p>

<p>I applied ED and I put something very scientific because I am very interested in biology and am applying to the school of natural science. I drew a fetus and DNA double helixes and wrote "The Complexity of Life" under it. I know, I know, kind of lame but oh well.</p>

<p>kind of? </p>

<p>haha burned.</p>

<p>I did something scientific too...except mine was a never-before-made molecule that I created during the summer. I wrote its name, gave it a birthday, etc. etc.</p>

<p>I applied Interim... February 1st is unbearably far away.</p>

<p>My box was, in a word, awful. I made a little book, titled "The Hitchhiker's Guide to What Appeals to Me" and drew pictures of things I like on the inside. It could have been worse, I suppose. I was very very close to writing a Rice-themed limerick.</p>

<p>I made a book too and filled it with a few of my b&w pictures</p>

<p>man, it was annoying to scan them in and reduce them down to size</p>

<p>By the way, has anyone gotten a user id and password to check app status online?</p>

<p>haha mine was not scientific at all, even though i applied to bioE. I put this cute picture of a puppy and kitten "kissing." haha i guess it worked.</p>

<p>I put in a box of crayons cuz I'm known for always carrying around a box of crayons. I applied Soc Sci</p>

<p>in my box, i wrote in a series of kerouac quotes.
can't go wrong with kerouac</p>

<p>I taped a fortune from a fortune cookie. And I've already forgotten what it said, and despite all of the reminders to make a copy of the app, I didn't. But it was something fitting.</p>

<p>I put in a verse of my favorite song in the world to hear and sing, a Welsh lullaby. Sadly, with the limited technology available that night, I wasn't able to include translations.</p>

<p>This has nothing to do with Rice, but if any1 of you live in Houston and noe any jobs that ae hring, let me know. I REALLY need a job asap!!!</p>

<p>Jobs are hard to find in Houston. I applied to 12 places over the summer and got one call back. That was just because my dad had taken his drycleaning there for 4 years.</p>

<p>i drew a picture of dna. how boring.</p>

<p>I put this picture:</p>

<p><em>EDIT</em> Yes, those are people. :D</p>

<p>This protest brings a sense of pride to my heart.</p>

<p>I drew a picture of a giant mustacioed koala bear wearing a Junior Mints t-shirt enjoying a cool pink lemonade with Fidel Castro.</p>

<p>i drew my hand drawing a picture of my hand drawing yet another hand... which i did until I could no longer continue because of pencil lead thickness. About 4 total hands =), similar to M C Escher (one of my favorite artists).</p>

<p>Well I taught a Shakespeare class last year, and I love cats, so I put in a color copy of a pic from the book Shakespeare Cats by Susan Herbert. It's a pic of Portia and the Prince of Morocco from The Merchant of Venice.</p>
