i am wondering if I complete my application on 4.7, will I get decision today? Does rice give decision in time order?
You mean 3 weeks after the deadline? Maybe they’ll give a decision today but I doubt it
@Fantasticbabe Wasn’t the transfer application deadline March 15th?
yeah but the they give extension for some materials
Was it for some materials, or your entire application?
Either way, they’ve head three weeks to get to your application. That’s enough time that the really could have seen it, but it’s also definitely possible that they have yet to review it. The only way to find out is to wait a few hours.
I’m unclear how Rice is releasing admissions decisions via Esther. Doesn’t access to the registration system require a student ID? Or has Rice emailed out log in pins to accepted students? Can applicants request Esther access?
I sent my high school transcript both email and mail but they did not receive my mail so I resent it… so I complete my application late
@mike0928 You can email their financial aid office with some personal information (date of birth, address etc) and they’ll make you an esther account.
I did it a few weeks ago and they replied the next day.
Why do you need to go on Esther? Don’t decisions post on the app status page?
@umbra505 this is correct.
Its nice to log onto esther to see if youre missing fin aid info.
Ideally youd want an acceptance along with the financial aid portion all complete too just for peace of mind.
I had seen it mentioned that admissions decisions had been released there in previous years. I don’t know where they will post outside of a registered letter. That’s why I asked.
@AGoodFloridian Can we see our FA package without an Esther?
Has anyone seen any changes to their admissions portal indicating acceptance or otherwise?
No change yet, and I think I’ve refreshed my email, the Application portal, and this site 10000 times this morning
@usualhopeful I’m not 100% sure, and I dont wanr to give you wrong information. What i can tell you is that Esther has a tab to see your financial aid history and awards.
I’m super nervous but ill spare my f5 key and wait for the email.
I called and sent an email just in case. If by some miracle I get in I will have to compare financial aid packages pretty quickly.
Looking back at last year’s thread, the notification came in at around 2PM. I’m getting the shivers hahahah, we’re reaching the best part of the rollercoaster :)) Ahhhh good luck guys love you all
I’m super nervous as well! I have so many things due today so I’m going to try to do those to take my mind off of the stress of waiting. I also saw the thread from last year and others got accepted the morning of the 29th (tomorrow) and even up to May 2nd so I’m going to pretend that I have no F5 or internet access until my phone gets an email notification from Rice :))
@Sheerio10 So basically all of those dates correspond to the last Friday of April 
(with the May one being the first friday of that month). It’s good to see you again- I was wondering where you went hahahah Stay strong pal!
I’m actually at work right now and I’ve told my bosses “don’t expect jolly old me today, srsly. leave me alone for about… 2 hours”
I have been here in spirit reading every one’s posts! I really hope we all get great news soon because the stress of waiting makes me not want to do anything else!
