<p>thanks :-) I'm guessing the letters should be in on april 1.?</p>
<p>thanks susan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)</p>
<p>You're welcome. Congratulations and good luck with a scholarship! The ID acceptances were sent out by priority mail. We're in Houston, so my son got his acceptance packet the next day after the e-mails were sent.</p>
<p>I'm in Houston-well Pearland, so hopefully I'll get mine tomorrow as well :-)</p>
<p>I just checked, and it says that the page was updated less than an hour ago, but there doesn't appear to be any new information. There's just the usual summary, but no official admissions status update. Is anyone else in a similar predicament? By the way, congratulations to those of you who have been admitted, thus far!</p>
<p>rejected!! haha</p>
<p>I am in a similar predicament, ahmtn17.</p>
<p>First post here - been lurking awhile. </p>
<p>In 2003, D1 was rejected, although that didn't surprise me too much. She's a bright student but not a "superstar". </p>
<p>In 2005, D2 was waitlisted in spite of being a prime candidate and having two alumni parents and a close relative teaching there. I was miffed and wrote a letter, eliciting a response from the Director of Admissions. She actually gave me a real explanation, much to my surprise. The reason: they felt my daughter didn't like to talk about herself, and they didn't like that her essay was a 3rd person illustrated story (again with the not talking about herself!). She got an amazing offer from Washington U in St. Louis and has never looked back.</p>
<p>This year, D3 is waiting to hear. Rice was originally a top choice for her, but it's coming down to Rice, WashU, and Wheaton (Illinois).</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone. It's a tough school to get into.</p>
<p>Deferred ID, Now waitlisted, why are they messing with my mind :(....Guess I'm going to Georgetown next year. Goodbye Rice, my dream school since I was 12.</p>
<p>priority waitlist...what is that?</p>
<p>I applied ED, and now I'm waitlisted. How much longer am I going to be in purgatory?</p>
<p>Yeah, what is priority waitlist?</p>
<p>Damn. Mine's not priority. Just got the email.</p>
<p>So there is actually a difference between priority waitlist and just a regular waitlist? Weird.</p>
<p>Yeah I got "priority waitlisted" too.
What exactly is waitlisted?
If we get accepted off the waitlist does that mean we have to go?</p>
<p>Aww, got a nice e-mail saying I was accepted. Which I haven't read through yet. : )
I love finding out about stuff by checking my e-mail for something else.
Any idea when we find out scholarship/finaid information?</p>
<p>ohh miss zanna, you do not have to go if you are accepted off the waitlist, but you do have to reply with your decision to attend or not attend fairly quickly.</p>
<p>oh okay. So I'm guessing I'll stay on the waitlist then :]
How about you?
And I wonder how priority "priority waitlist" actually is...</p>
<p>I'm staying as well. Since we're on priority, they're likely to accept us before any other students, hopefully :).</p>
<p>Good luck ohh miss zanna, I'm sure we'll both get in.</p>
<p>Are the decisions online or strictly in email? I haven't been receiving emails from any of my schools and I would really like to know tonight if I got in. Also, when did Rice tell us our PIN numbers for checking online applications? Did the letter containing this information come in an email or in a letter in the mail?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
