Will there be a separate ED thread?
Just made one: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rice-university/1930908-official-rice-ed-class-of-2021-thread-p1.html?new=1
Very low subject scores in 600s hurt my chances
Any rice/baylor applicants out here?
@Harryp17 Me!
@Harryp17 Me too
My daughter is trying to decide whether to apply RD as a Humanities/English major or a Social Sciences/Psychology major. Any thoughts on which application stands a better chance of admission? She understands she can double major or change her major once she enrolls, but she has to pick school to apply.
@Houston1021 Rice doesn’t admit applicants into certain majors/colleges, so neither would really boost her application. It’s best that she just applies to whatever major she is actually interested in, and her ECs/“why this major” essay should reflect her chosen major.
When I have done three SAT subject tests, and the university needs two, do I have the score choice? Or should I send in all three?
Is anyone going to do the overnight and how much does it cost?
Now that we’ve all submitted our applications, what did you guys put in the Box?
I put a picture of sad Joe Biden and I have no regrets.
My daughter drew a picture and surrounded it with some of her favorite literary quotes-- she is applying as an English major.
Hey Guys! International applicant (Engineering) here…I was just wondering if you get the login credentials for ESTHER at the time of application or after the decisions have come out? also, how can you check your financial aid status and whether you need to submit any additional documents? :-/ :-/
@Loyal0learner Well IDOC is how my son looked to see what other things he needed to send. Then he sent them back through IDOC. He did learn last time some people got there log in for ESTHER two weeks before so they could check to see If everything went through, but my son never got his. He was very nervous and pretty much thought he wasn’t getting in. So when he did he pretty much was shocked. So I would not worry as long as you take care of the stuff on IDOC. It tells you when the stuff goes to them.They also sent a reminder to check IDOC.
@fun1234 thanks for your reply… but I don’t think international applicants can use IDOC to send documents to Rice… Sure other universities prefer IDOC but not Rice… The information on their website said that you can check the financial aid status through your ESTHER account, and I still haven’t gotten my login info… Anyways, thanks for the help. I might email them on Saturday… 
@Loyal0learner You taught me something new. I hadn’t noticed you were international. I always thought Rice used Esther, but when my son called to check they said IDOC and never gave him an esther until after he was accepted and he had to send them an email. He did apply ED. Maybe IDOC is what the people in United States use. I just know that is what he used after the Fasfa and css profile. They did say he would not get an esther account until he was accepted. Which is why he thought at first he wasn’t accepted luckily he had no problems. I know the people in ED near received it until 2 weeks before decisions came out. Maybe ED is a little different that RD in terms of timing of Esther.
Hey, does anyone know when the decision is supposed to come out? I know it’s before April 1st, but any speculated date according to the previous pattern?
@ThemanX I’m guessing somewhere around the 24th based on previous years, but thats just an estimate.
when does rice/baylor come out
Did you guys all get the request for mid-year transcripts?
