the week has never gone by so slow… and so fast at the same time
does anyone know if location helps at all? I’m from Alaska, so I’m really curious lol
That can definitely help add uniqueness to your application, but I don’t know if it would be a game changer. Best of luck
I just got a very nice scholarship to one of my second choice schools, so I’ll feel better about getting rejected tomorrow
which school? it’s always nice to know that even if you get rejected you’ll be fine all the same. 
Pretty much everyone I know has been deferred from their reach EDs…is that more common now or something?
Same here! I do have two friends who got in to Columbia, but everybody else I’ve talked to got deferred…
it’s been crazy. i went onto the Harvard ED forum and almost everyone on it had been deferred, which seemed very odd. why not outright reject?
I know about 7 people who got into Harvard.
okay so i haven’t ever been nervous about this, what will happen will happen, BUT NOW I AM FREAKING OUT
A friend of mine was deferred from Stanford. I think the reason more people are getting deferred than maybe usual is that the amount of college-ready students in the United States is higher now more than ever. Also, the amount of ED applicants increased for every competitive school, so I guess the # of deferred students proportionally increased?
I feel you! Definitely doubting myself within this past week more than ever. Kind of settling in that the reality is there’s a huge chance I won’t get in. Haha people say there’s a plan for everyone but i just want to tell them lol I really want getting in to be apart of my plan ::
Haha i totally agree. I also feel though that I put my best application forward so I’m not gonna have any regrets if I get denied. Good luck to all you guys!
i refreshed this page over 50 times since I woke up an hour ago
Less than 9 hours!
Good Luck to everyone waiting on a decision today. Hope you will be at Rice in 2019. Here’s a look back at 2018.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ahu_pV_Ts&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1fk0KferazZSLmq1ob1Q8eeLn99-vJkh1HTcWqBhibo93E6I8wuvblzu0
Good luck everyone! A little over 6 hours left, I’m so nervous hahaha
So many of my friends are getting accepted into ivies lol… I’m so nervous
Application numbers for ED jumped 70% for rice according to a source
Oh my, then I suppose we can expect the ED acceptance rate to drop pretty sharply. Fingers crossed for everyone.
