Rice Class of 2018 (HS Class of 2014) ED/RD Thread

<p>For my school, it seems that fewer students apply for Rice through ED. Students in my school get higher SAT scores than last year, so they apply for more competitive and prestigious U&LAC.</p>

<p>They have updated the student portal and have said that the decisions will be released in the week of December 16th.</p>

<p>ugh… :/</p>

<p>Just called the Rice admissions office for a more specific ED decision date, and the lady on the other end said they are “still saying mid-December.” Ugh.
Just checked the student portal and StarSeraph is right… “Admission decisions will be released the week of December 16th.” Jeezz. Why can’t they just post a specific date, like Monday afternoon or Tuesday afternoon? <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>forreal…maybe they’re just gonna release them as soon as they finish and they don’t know when they’re gonna be finished so they dont wanna make promises they cant keep…but it wouldn’t be nice if they would just tell us when…i came home from school thinking today was the day :(</p>

<p>It will be a lovely weekend.:(</p>

<p>time to put all my hibernation practice to work 77hrs here we go!</p>

<p>the worst part is it doesnt even promise monday…it says the week of the 16th but there are soo many days in that week how am i supposed to know which one its going to be</p>

<p>This really sucks…the struggle is real</p>

<p>^great name :)</p>

<p>Well this absolutely sucks.</p>

<p>Hey y’all, as a current freshman, I can tell you that this exact same thing happened last year. The admissions office refuses to tell you when they’re giving out decisions, including day-of. I’m not saying they’ll come out today, just that they very well might. No point in worrying about it though. Rice is an amazing place and I hope you all get in, but all of my friends from HS at other universities are having amazing times as well. If you don’t get in, don’t worry. You will love wherever you go!</p>

<p>I mean, it literally says "Early Decision Applicants: Admission decisions will be released the week of December 16th as a result of the extended application deadline to accommodate students who were experiencing difficulties with the Common Application. "</p>

<p>its all for the surprise factor when they come out sunday morning at 2am</p>

<p>^thanks for the false hope.</p>

<p>when will I be ever able to know the exact notification date…
i’m dying for it. all my friends know at least the date of notification of their colleges!
uuurrggghhh this is really killing me, I can’t get sleep well these days!!</p>

<p>if they dont tell us tomorrow im giving up all hope and just going to community college</p>

<p>1 day… 2 hours… 50 minutes</p>

<p>HOLD IN THERE!!!</p>

<p>You guys are assuming it’s going to be on Monday. It said the week of December 16th, so I would suggest that you don’t put all of your hopes on Monday because you might just be even more disappointed…</p>

<p>Called one of the admissions counselors on Friday and she said “early next week”. When I asked if it would be most likely Monday afternoon, she said yes. Keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow and pray to get in! :)</p>

<p>as StarSeraph said, very unlikely results will be out tomorrow. it says the week of December 16th…</p>

<p>I hope kobeshaq is right. I would call the admissions office myself to verify, but they’re probably really fed up with that question by now. Nice name btw… that was quite the dominant duo.</p>
