Any speculation on when decisions will come out?

Good luck to my fellow people who are applying ED. We have over 30 days before we get our decisions so might as well make an effort to get to know each other a little better. Where are y’all from and how did you first learn about Rice?
Houston Texas here! Due to familial circumstances, I have to stay here in Houston. So other than University of Houston, I really want to go to Rice haha
Good luck to all! I’m from Connecticut and I learned about Rice at a college fair
Good luck to everyone applying! An international from Singapore here. Really excited for the results next month.
Is anyone else as nervous as I am??
Lol!
I am. I put a countdown on my phone until Dec 9th. Only about 28 days to go!
Same haha!
December 1st for me hhaha, I’m applying though QuestBridge. I’m crazy nervous haha
What majors or school are you applying to for Rice?
Engineering for me!
How do you know if they received all your financial aid paperwork?
They’re isn’t really a way to see. Just make sure you put them down on the FAFSA and CSS Profile. Then upload everything on IDOC.
Thanks!
Right. As long as you mark Rice down on the FAFSA and CSS Profile, they will send that. Then you upload your personal tax documents on IDOC. Thats it.
