Rice Class of 2017 ED/RD Discussion Thread

<p>But Esther still says the 15th! Do you think they will actually be release a day early?!</p>

<p>Wait, where does it say on the link posted on page 12 that it’s going to be released tomorrow the 14th? I clicked on the link yesterday and it said dec14 2012 right there but it doesn’t say that anymore!
Does anyone know if we actually find out tomorrow cuz everywhere else it says the 15th.</p>

<p>@Senior026</p>

<p>Yeah, I noticed that too. I guess they made a mistake on the site, so we can all assume that notifications are this Saturday at 5pm CST.</p>

<p>Unless, of course, they surprise us.</p>

<p>They must have removed it. Initially, they probably didn’t expect people to find it so fast lol.
No one will be able to tell you for sure if it’ll be tomorrow or the next day, though</p>

<p>The text was removed in the past 30 minutes or so.</p>

<p>Does someone want to call them to see what’s going on? I would but I have sports in 10 minutes :frowning: I know last year people called the admissions office and they told them the day.</p>

<p>I tried calling, but they were too busy, so I emailed them and got a really fast answer. They said: “All applicants will be made aware by email of their decisions by December 15, 2012.”</p>

<p>That’s so mean! I’ll be freaking out all day tomorrow now!</p>

<p>What are you guys predicting? My thoughts are that they’re going to release it on the 14th. I think the fact that they just got rid of the message, instead of changing it to the 15th shows that their reason for taking it down is simply because they don’t want people to know the date, not because it was wrong. I feel like if they posted that message in the first place, they wouldn’t do the wrong date. The only possible way I see it being the 15th is if something unexpected happens that they needed to fix.</p>

<h1>HopingForFriday</h1>

<p>It could be either Friday or Saturday, I’m not gonna get my hopes up. Maybe they just didn’t want to be held accountable by decision-crazed students in case they don’t get the decisions out tomorrow.</p>

<p>Rice Class of 2017 facebook page?</p>

<p>Who would have liked it already?.. decisions haven’t come out yet…</p>

<p>I know right? I guess the two people are just really too excited!
Less than 2 days left! This is so nervewrecking but exciting at the same time.</p>

<p>

There are only 2 likes, and no posts. Maybe cocky/presumptuous people? Questbridge Scholars? And Upperclassmen Moderators?</p>

<p>I’m going to be ****ed if it doesn’t come out tomorrow… They had me believing the 14th for an entire day so I’m already all excited. If they hadn’t done that I would have never gotten my hopes up so early.</p>

<p>Not an official University-created FB page; perhaps the profile pic of the University of Florida’s mascot is a give-away?</p>

<p>Haha yea and a picture of Notre Dame and some other school. hmmm</p>

<p>So, anyways… It’s possible that we’ll find out in 21 hours. I really don’t have much to say, except for some reason I’m already checking the Esther and my email over and over, not really sure why though. At this point I don’t know what to do.</p>

<p>With possibly less than 24 hours until decisions are released, I am starting to lose confidence. This week, students from my school have gotten acceptance letters from Harvard, Brown, UPenn, WashU, Duke, Northwestern and more by the end of tomorrow (Yale, Stanford etc.). All these students are exceptionally bright and I could not be more proud of them for getting accepted to such top schools. As I look at my application, I realize that i am nearly not as good as these student or other students who are applying. My GPA is rather low and my ACT score is definitely low. My essays, recs and EC’s are the only thing that could get me into Rice. Hopefully being an African American male and out of state can help too. Rice has been my dream school since I started high school, and being rejected would devastate me. I want to be apart of the group of students that got accepted into top school. I know I’m not a failure and I still believe I have a shot just like everyone else. I just needed a place to let out what I was feeling at this moment. </p>

<p>Good Luck Everyone. Dec 14 or 15 is almost here</p>

<p>aww @freedom2succeed just know that whatever college you go to, you WILL be successful. Sometimes we (and every other student out there) can get so wrapped up in the admissions process and take it personally…we may not see it now, but we are meant to go where we are meant to go, and it will only be for the best.</p>

<p>"…and some other school. hmmm"</p>

<p>Taken at Princeton.</p>

<hr>

<p>No matter where we all end up, it’s what we do when we are there that matters; seize the moment and drive hard; good results will follow.</p>

<p>Sorry for all the errors, I was typing this in a hurry.</p>
