Now I am actually freaking out. Does not getting an ESTHER email mean that I am not going to get in?
My son didn’t get an ESTHER email too.
@mathias311ad Did you apply via Questbridge or with the common app?
From what I understand you dont get an Esther account until you register for classes and/or get a student ID number to activate your Esther account. i dont think anyone needs to worry about that. No one should have an Esther at this point
Exactly what I’m wondering too @iodizedsalt
Yeah that’s what I thought @I1447. After doing more research, it seemed that ESTHER was only a thing for current students. because that’s the student portal where grades are posted, etc.
I got an Esther email about 2 weeks ago.
I applied via commonapp
I think I got an email because I might be missing some stuff on IDOC
Was your Esther email concerning financial aid too? @PhantomOfCollege
When my son called about financial aid when he got an email about it they did say Esther was only for current students. I doc was the only way to check financial aid until admitted.
So your son got an Esther email too? @fun1234
Yes.
Just wonder – did anyone of you have a Rice in person or Skype interview and if so – can you share how it went, any tough questions or things of interest? My son just requested his off campus interview. thanks
When you say he recieved an Esther email too, was the email asking him to sign up for an Esther account or was the email just sent from an Esther account? @PhantomOfCollege
@CA1543 I did an on campus interview with a senior. It was pretty simple. We just talked about my school, my classes, my extracurriculars, and how Rice fit into that picture. The only thing that tripped me up is when they asked me the following: What two words would a friend describe you as? And a teacher? Tell him not to stress too much about it.
I got an email telling me to sign up for Esther, and it gave me a student ID/Pin number to check the status financial aid documents beyond the FAFSA, CSS, and IDOCS.
My son honestly doesn’t remember, and since deleted it. It was over about 2 weeks ago and it just mentioned he need ed to do more information on IDOC. He asked the person on the phone if he needed an Esther account and the person said that is only for after you are admitted. IDOC will tell you what to send that is missing.
@PhantomOfCollege are you missing any documents on IDOC?
Are we thinking that decisions come out today?
