<p>I’m so nervous! Anyone have any tips on how to approach opening ESTHER when the time comes that the decisions are released?</p>
<p>Almost …</p>
<p>My take on the whole 14th vs. 15th thing is that when they posted to the website, they meant that letters would be mailed out on the 14th. They’re typically done the Friday before the 15th. They could’ve accidentally been misleading in their posting then just deleted it</p>
<p>sooo soon! goodluck yall (:</p>
<p>and dont forget, even if we dont get in, there’s a purpose for everything and an even more suitable college than Rice for us.</p>
<p>Good luck to all. I am sure all who applied ED to Rice are capable and worthy of admission. Know that you will have plenty of choices of other fine universities even if you are rejected or deferred at Rice.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the wording? IIRC, it was pretty ESTHER specific. I can’t remember exactly what it said, but I thought it said something about the site being updated on the 14th.</p>
<p>I don’t know if this has been addressed in this thread before, but is it a problem if the perspective essay is shorter than they asked? Like close to 500 words?</p>
<p>premed4: yeah I think you are correct. Because it said something about how we were informed through ESTHER on December 14. We will see soon. Will we get an email before the decision is coming out?</p>
<p>@premed4 “Admissions decisions, financial aid, and scholarship information were activated in the ESTHER accounts for qualifying Early Decision candidates for the class of 2017 on December 14, 2012.”</p>
<p>I think the email comes at around the same time ESTHER is updated.</p>
<p>Thanks engiprosp</p>
<p>Yea, I think you’re right. I think it’s basically an email that’s like "Your decision’s on ESTHER! Go check!
I have email on my phone, so if I get an email when I’m out on my phone I’ll be freaking out since I can’t check ESTHER on my phone.</p>
<p>I personally think there’s a good chance of the notification today, so I’ll be freaking out in the hours before, probably updating every 3 seconds after 5:30 till 6:30 if they don’t tell us.</p>
<p>Oh yeah that part about scholarship info… If we get a merit scholarship (not that I think I will… I’ll be happy enough if I get in) it will tell us already? I thought we would have to wait a few months</p>
<p>Nope, I’m pretty sure scholarship info comes around RD decisions.</p>
<p>I really think the chances of finding out today are slim, but does anyone still think that this is a possibility if everywhere online currently says that we will know tomorrow?</p>
<p>Google this: rice admitted students December 14, 2012</p>
