<p>On the admissions portal thing, there isn’t a category stating the status of my application? like pending or denied… that kind of thing. Everyone else the same? I wonder where on the admissions portal our decision will show x)</p>
<p>Same here</p>
<p>There should be an application status somewhere. Maybe the link isn’t visible yet</p>
<p>So do we think the decision will be released on the 15th or this Friday (the 12th)? I know in past years, the decisions have been released on the Friday before, but I’m not sure whether that was because the 15th fell on a weekend or not. </p>
<p>I’m guessing Monday, sadly.
The level of anxiety I am feeling over this is unreal. I half expect my hair to start falling out. Wish I could turn my brain off. </p>
<p>mid December = any time between 10th and 19th.</p>
<p>@Yhz1221 Do you know if they have ever notified as early as the 10th? Or for that matter, what the earliest notification has been in the last several years? </p>
<p>@owl2019 It really depends on how quickly the admissions committee finish reviewing all the applications. I assume that this year Rice has a significant number of ED applicants, and it is very possible that they have to take longer time to review.</p>
<p>Hey guys! New here, but probably been anonymously lurking since June. Anticipating the ED results with a churning stomach alongside you guys… 1 week. Yikes.</p>
<p>Traditionally, Rice release ED decisions the weekday before Dec. 15. For those of you saying Rice was supposed to release decisions last year on the Dec. 13, that adheres to this formula. The year before that, decision were released Fri, Dec. 14. So anyways, that puts admissions decision for us on Friday, 12 December, 2014. However, I have no leads on the specific time that they are released.</p>
<p>Good luck to all.</p>
<p>No, I don’t think they’re going to release the decisions on the 12th. Last year there was speculation that they were to be released on the Friday before because the 15th fell on a Sunday. And last year’s decisions ended up not being posted until that Monday so it really just depends. I have a feeling they’re going to be posted Monday.</p>
<p>I don’t think I have much of a chance, but I figured I would feel better knowing that I wouldn’t have gotten in. There are many very qualified people who have gotten rejected.</p>
<p>yeeeeeep one week!!</p>
<p>6 days and 7 hours and 15 minutes</p>
<p>The suspense is killing meeee XD</p>
<p>Omgeee…. i really cant wait T-T
btw, how did you guys file your own tax returns? like the students? i don’t hav an income so i am thoroughly confused LOL</p>
<p>@jellyworld135, Hey! Alright so if you log onto ESTHER if you have created the account, you should see that the fin aid office is missing a tax return form for you (the student). I didn’t have an income for 2013 so Rice told me to file a nontax filer’s form from collegeboard. </p>
<p>The link is here: <a href=“https://idoc.collegeboard.org/idoc/VignetteServlet/VignetteServlet.srv?relativePath=/profile/pdfs/idoc_non_tax_filer_stmt_student.pdf”>https://idoc.collegeboard.org/idoc/VignetteServlet/VignetteServlet.srv?relativePath=/profile/pdfs/idoc_non_tax_filer_stmt_student.pdf</a></p>
<p>I went ahead and filled that out, signed it, and emailed it to the fin aid office, and they accepted it. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>@Kokko2k15 Thank you so much and good luck!!</p>
<p>This is like purgatory. I don’t have the mental resilience for this waiting game.
Question to keep my mind off the 4 days and approximately 21 hours remaining:
Would you rather be deferred and have to wait another ~3.5 months, but hold onto hope, or be rejected and allow yourself to move on? </p>
<p>Hey guys. It seems that I’m the only international student here. I also applied to Rice ED, and my application process is slightly different from yours. However I wander that, despite that, does my decision will be released at the same time as yours? </p>
