<p>Doesn’t look like anything has appeared in Esther or in email.</p>

22

<p>Almost forgot that Rice is in the Central Time Zone…
Called the office again and still got the same answer.</p>

23

<p>So I guess nothing today? I don’t think they will email something after 5pm.</p>

24

<p>Still says “Application Under Review.”</p>

25

<p>Where does it say application under review?</p>

26

<p>Maybe it will be next Monday? It was April 27 in 2009, 2010, and 2012. Though in 2011 and 2012 it was the last Friday of April, it was never earlier than April 27 right? So I guess we will be notified since tomorrow is Saturday.</p>

</p>

<p>After you login to Esther, click Undergraduate Admission, then scroll to the bottom and click Requirements.</p>

28

<p>Maybe tomorrow, although it would be a little odd to release them on a weekend. I think Monday is more likely.</p>

29

<p>Does Admission office even work on weekends? Hmmm I feel it should be Monday April 29th.</p>
