Rice Class of 2017 ED/RD Discussion Thread

<p>Oh, wow! That’s awesome that there’s less waiting, but that also scares me even more. At least when you’re opening a letter you usually have some clue as to whether it’s a rejection or acceptance.</p>

<p>When my son was accepted at Johns Hopkins the subject line in the email said “Congratulations from Johns Hopkins” no suspense there!!</p>

<p>Ricehopkins: do you know if Hopkins still notifies accepted students that way??</p>

<p>@karatekid666- That was 2 years ago that he got accepted, and I don’t know how they did it last year. However I remember reading something an admissions officer posted about the decision emails. He said they change up the subject line to keep everyone in suspense every year! But I would bet it says something similiar.</p>

<p>Hmm, that will make checking my email just that more nerve wracking.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard from the Rice/Baylor Med Program for the interview?</p>

<p>hey y’all! does anyone know when rice usually releases their decisions? the whole by april 1 thing is so vague!</p>

<p>Was wondering the same thing. Last year it was on March 23, a Friday, which leads me to believe that it will either be on the 22 or 29 this year. April 1 is a Monday, decisions arent usually released on weekends, therefore, I imagine it would be on the 29th. The 22nd would be awesome though.</p>

<p>uhh, does anyone else have a blank esther account?
as in i logged in and on all of the application tabs it shows “No Records Found”, even though my records were present when I last checked months ago.</p>

<p>Maybe you should give them a call. My son checked and his just looks the same as before.</p>

<p>@kamnn1</p>

<p>Mine looks like what you described.</p>

<p>@ Kamnn1
Ignore my last post. Its back to normal. Sorry for misinforming you.</p>

<p>@kamnn1, mine says that too, even though it still showed my records when I checked a few days ago.</p>

<p>Mine says that as well. Perhaps it’s because they are re-examining all of the applicants for the RD…? Just an idea.</p>

<p>Mine is now back to normal. I didn’t call or anything, must have just been routine database maintenance. :)</p>

<p>Mine is also back to normal (:</p>

<p>mine is screwed up. Says it has no record of my scores or credentials, although they had them like 2 days ago.</p>

<p>Mine says no record too D:</p>

<p>I did not have an interview. Does anyone know if that hurts my chances?</p>

<p>My understanding is that the interview can help, but it cannot hurt your chances if you don’t have one.</p>
