<p>@xcloudy- I was thinking the same thing! I wasn’t even expecting to hear from rice today so the email was a very pleasant surprise! Why can’t NU do the same? Harvard is doing it too this year.</p>
<p>@Dory I did see my decision, and I was accepted. I knew the site was crashing, so I saved the letter on Word and tried to advance to the next page, and it went to the error page.</p>
<p>Do you think the message may be showing up because we’ve already “checked” our letter by clicking the link, thus expiring it (though we were not able to see it)?</p>
<p>I’m already fairly certain I got rejected - perhaps waitlisted (I was waitlisted at Rice), judging by how the decisions have been looking. I really just want to KNOW so I can move on and I’ll be able to look forward to the other two colleges I really really would love to get into (Tufts and Emory).</p>
<p>@xcloudy you are reading too much into this, may because something is cloudy… I agree with you that the Rice approach was so much better. Sheesh College…you know the result…just send an email…</p>

<p>ummm what?? does the first part seem a little silly to anyone else?</p>
<p>^rofl, good catch</p>
<p>^Yes, I thought it was funny. :)</p>
<p>I hate the suspense! 3rd college decision today… so far I’ve been rejected and accepted today.</p>
<p>Just accepted to GWU. Now, move on to NU…or a crash page with very skilled human beings working on it?</p>
<p>wow, if it was this crazy/intense today with just uchicago, rice, and northwestern coming out…imagine how bad CC is going to crash on ivy and duke day…
i really hope the other schools i’m hearing back from don’t have this crashing problem 
then again, northwestern had a record # of applicants this yr.</p>
<p>does anyone have an idea of when it will be up?
I’m wondering if i should go to bed or not…</p>
<p>Some people are starting to get their decisions. My friend just got rejected.</p>
<p>Waitlisted x 2 today…was kind of hoping from good news from Northwestern but it crashed :/</p>
<p>Just checked:
We’re still working on it…</p>
<p>In hopes of easing a bit of stress for you out there watching this page, we anticipate that we will have the decision page back up and running by 8:00 AM Central Daylight Time. If anything changes, we will certainly update you here.</p>

<p>So let’s restart the count to 9 hours to go!</p>
<p>I was able to get through about an hour ago, so I saw my acceptance letter!</p>
<p>You made me jelly.</p>
<p>two rejections in one night. I guess it’s not a surprise that I would be rejected when there are so many more qualifying students out there, but I still feel pretty dejected.</p>
<p>Woke up randomly at 2 AM. It works!</p>
