<p>You should not send any more than 2 to Rice (that’s what they said when I asked them). However, you can mail them any research materials you may have done (I am forgetting what they are called - thesis? dissertation? something else…). Anyway, yea… Not sure how much they weigh their decisions on that though…</p>

<p>@BCH2014
I’d rather get accepted or deferred because I’d like another chance for them to look at my application (although most who get deferred get rejected, so I don’t know…).</p>

82

<p>@Dragonqian, don’t you have to schedule an interview? Not sure if Rice gives out interview offers. It’s basically your choice.</p>

83

<p>I know that you can call or visit the school and schedule an interview with the office of admissions. I, along with several others in this forum, have done that. I believe you can also interview with a Rice alumni. Those are the only interviews that I know of.</p>

84

<p>They said not to send more than 2, although it probably isn’t a big deal at all if you did send more.</p>

<p>@StarSeraph - i second the deferral comment…'twould be the worst really</p>

85

<p>So, did anyone else realize that if the decisions come out on the 13th, it will be Friday the Thirteenth! LOL.</p>

86

<p>why does everybody think decisions will be out on the 13th? </p>

<p>It used to be dec 15th, and now with the extended deadline, it will be later as the website now reads “mid-december”</p>

<p>jw why you think it’ll be earlier?</p>

87

<p>Not sure…someone said it, and we all went along with it, i guess. Considering, however, that the early decision deadline was extended, it would make sense if the decisions are released later…</p>

<p>JUST SUBMITTED RICE APP!! :slight_smile:
feels good to have it off my mind and on its way electronically to one of the best universities in the country and the world for “inspection” and hopeful that good news are warranted!!</p>

<p>(tbh, its my 4th application and i’m already mentally tired, dang by the time im done with all my other ones, imma be seriously tired haha)</p>

89

<p>just finished my 4th like 5 mins ago…ready to crawl up in a hole and cry for two weeks until rice decisions come out.</p>

90

<p>@mvin the 15th is a sunday so we were all thinking/hoping it would come out on a week day(ie the 13th) but it could just be wishful thinking</p>

91

<p>Last year there was a hurricane that hit the Northeast and Rice extended their ED deadline and then notified the applicants of their decision on 12/14/12 at 5 pm (Friday). The ED deadline was also extended this year and my best guess is the decisions will be out on 12/13/13 (Friday) at 5 pm.</p>

92

<p>My S is applying Early Decision and we just noticed that we missed the CSS Profile and 2012 Tax/W2’s. We submitted the CSS profile over the weekend. But does anyone know who or how to submit the 2012 Tax/W2’s</p>

<p>[Future</a> Owls](<a href=“Office of Admission | Rice University”>Office of Admission | Rice University)
Submit CSS PROFILE to CSS and submit 2012 income tax and W-2 forms to Rice by November 15, 2013</p>

93

<p>I would just fax a copy of your 2012 Tax Returns/W2. That would be the fastest way to get it to them. :)</p>

94

<p>Anybody on this thread a RD applicant or Rice/Baylor applicant?</p>

95

<p>Thanks Rubyred8. I was asked to email it to <a href=“mailto:fina@rice.edu”>fina@rice.edu</a></p>

96

<p>I think that it would good if we listed out who is on what decision plan and if any special applications. I’ll start it</p>

<p>ED:</p>

<p>RD:
Matrixsurgeon (Rice/Baylor)</p>

97

<p>MiWiTx, will Rice still accept the W2 forms? I did not know at all that they were supposed to be submitted!!! Will I not receive a financial aid package if accepted? I applied ED and sent my CSS profile already but not the W2.</p>

<p>I felt like joining =P</p>

<p>I applied ED with a 33 ACT and goodish grades, but below Rice standards, however, I’ve taken a lot of “weird classes” related to my major, astrophysics, and in general related to science. Also, I’m from Arkansas!</p>

<p>It is my only reach school besides Yale. I hope the admissions guy gets hit on the head with a large pine cone and decides to accept me. </p>

<p>Also I guess the countdown is around 12 days?? Haha.</p>
