What email are we talking about? how do we say is 14th 4 PM CST 
I’m talking about the email from admissions that a lot of people got…
Got it, thank you.
I’ve been so on edge… I jump about 5 feet every time my laptop sends me a notification. At least I can somewhat relax for 2-ish days til all hell breaks loose
Welll they said that they’ll send it AFTER 4pm… For all we know they could leave us hanging for a while lol
Yeah…I have a debate meeting I have to go teach at 4:30 CT, so I’m hopeful that decisions will come out right at 4. That way, I’m not distracted during the meeting (although if I find out I get either accepted or denied from Rice before the meeting starts, I’ll probably be distracted anyways :D)
Two more days guys! Just ready to rip the band-aid off & end that anxiety and impatience of the last three months ahaha
What email did you guys talk about yesterday? Is the email mentioning your ED status? How about people who do not get the email? Does this mean they will be rejected? Thanks!
@jinl11 No dude it literally just said “The wait is almost over” or something and told us that the admission decision would be released around 4:00 CST on Friday the 14th of December.
Thanks, feel better now since didn’t hear my son talking about the alert yesterday.
@jinl11 Yeah, the email basically just told us all that ED admission decisions would be released this Friday at 4 CST or so. I was super nervous when I first saw it, but realized it was just letting us know the date and time of decisions. Best of luck to your son!
@bookworm Thanks for confirming this.
i’m losing sleep over this abdjaidbja :((
I barely have any homework this week so I all can do is sit and fret
I have a lot of homework this week but all I do is sit and fret… 
something i’ve been wondering for a while… how big is rice on legacy?
If a student already meets Rice’s criteria for admission, being a legacy or a child of a professor is also a plus. However, Rice does not fill a huge part of its class with legacies as some other elite institutions do. I have several friends who are Rice grads whose children were admitted ED last year. However. these applicants were also top notch students that likely would have been admitted regardless of their legacy status.
For those of you waiting on your decision from Rice, here is a little holiday cheer. https://www.rice.edu/holidaycard/2018.html?utm_source=Holiday%20Card&utm_medium=President&utm_campaign=Holiday%20Card%202018
