<p>This is a friendly reminder to those who have not joined. I created a group on Facebook for Early Decision applicants applying for Fall 2014 admission. Its members have become very close and supportive of each other. It is a wonderful environment for us all to connect and get to know each other early. If you applied Early Decision to Rice, I encourage you to join the group:</p>

<p>I applied ED and am eagerly awaiting results.</p>

<p>It seems almost certain that admissions results will be released tomorrow. I certainly hope so.</p>

223

<p>I feel like if I join the facebook group I’ll jinx myself, hopefully I’ll be joining tomorrow night!</p>

224

<p>You know how we all had to submit the box? What if the picture I submitted turned out to be 5 times the size of the paper for the essays and such? Will they figure that out?</p>

225

<p>i asked the student who i did my overnight with, who also helps read apps, and she said it is barely taken into. idk i did a picture of my dog. hopefully that isn’t too weird or shallow or anything like that</p>

226

<p>ugggghhhhhhh 16 moar hoursssss!!!</p>

227

<p>If tomorrow really comes.</p>

228

<p>I remember when I was about to submit. I suddenly found that Rice added another essay with 500 words. I could still remember the horrified feeling at that moment. Thankfully I submitted early enough for me to complete it. That was the fastest essay I ever wrote.</p>

229

<p>i wrote two 650 worders instead of one 650 and one 500…and realized it at 11:25pm…and then i only submitted the CA and didnt realize till 4am when i submitted the supplement…quite the night</p>

230

<p>A 500 words supplement? Why I did not find it in Common App?</p>

231

<p>Plz Plz come out tomorrow…</p>

232

<p>What was that last essay about? I am sure I did it, but wanted to make sure.</p>

233

<p>Hey y’all, sorry to interrupt the focus of conversation, but what time would it be?
As in texas time zone?</p>

234

<p>The last one had something to do with what background or culture you will bring to Rice…And I’m assuming the decisions will be released in Houston’s time, so central?</p>

235

<p>Is it for sure that the time is 4 PM?</p>

236

<p>Not sure about the time but for instance my friend got her acceptance notification at 4pm the date they gave her (Dec 12). I think I they release everything before they get out for the day. I hope the same thing goes for us. Btw I only had one essay and supplement questions, so I’m not sure what you guys are talking about but hey, it’s submitted, if something was missing you would know by now! Good luck!</p>

237

<p>haha I’m talking about the 500 word background essay from the Rice supplement and the 650 word common app essay</p>

238

<p>So will the decision be on Esther or he portal? Because thy posted the pushed notification deadline on the portal…</p>

239

<p>i think they email the decision out…not sure if its on the portal or esther</p>

240
