Possible? Yes
Likely? No
@helos290 I remember last year my son went to an information session and he asked if his school does not send in first quarter marks by the first how it would effect him. She said if it arrives after the first then it would not effect his admissions at all. It was beyond his control and would not be penalized. Since grades closed on the 30th and may not be enough time for all the teachers to get back with the grades. Which makes sense.
HI EVERYONE. I just joined college confidential to find another group of people who are also agonizing over having applied ED to rice. Nice to meet all of you!!
Rice has asked for mid semester senior transcripts in the past but it has never been a regular thing… I haven’t been asked to submit mine (thankfully lol) so I don’t think they are doing it this year
Did your son have to submit an original copy of citizenship or permanent residence to their office for financial aid? It shows up (Original document needed) as a requirement on Esther for me, and I do not know how I am supposed to submit that.
Apparently if that is not turned in, I can’t view my financial aid package on December 15th (IF, big if, i’m admitted) 
@justwant2gradu8 @rice2022 @helos290 @ballup @person0404
Do you guys have original documents: citizenship/permanent residence as one of the unsatisfied requirements in Esther? These unsatisfied requirements really stressing me out lol
Sorry 
didn’t apply for financial aid
@YoLolololol My son did not. I would give them a call and ask what they would like for that. I remember my son found it pretty easy to call them when he had questions.
I got mine as well
@rice2022 It is by December 15th because the CSS profile said I would get my packet (if I’m accepted) by the 15th
I submitted mine! Do you think I’ll get rejected if my sat score is only 1480?
This waiting is killing me.
11 more days
I’m nervous because my ACT score is not fabulous but literally everything else about my application is perfect. I have visited Rice twice (once for tour and info session and once for interview) and fell in love with the school. Good luck to everyone who applied! I read the entire thread from last year and it made me so anxious for this year. It would be awesome if we found out on the 8th
Last year they were behind and was more like the 16th. Would not plan on the 8th you will just get hopes up.
51 QuestBridge students were matched to Rice this year. Congratulations to the 51 and good luck to everyone awaiting ED decisions.
@Houston1021, where did you get that info? I am not familiar with QuestBridge, but am curious. How many apply through QuestBridge?
Search QuestBridge threads on Twitter, Instagram and College Confidential for 2017 match info. Some show screen shots of the admit letter reporting 51 QB admits to Rice. Here is some info re: Quest Bridge. https://futureowls.rice.edu/futureowls/QuestBridge.asp
@Houston1021, Thanks. I saw the screenshots. 51 seems like an unusually high number for a small university like Rice. Good for them.
Has anyone bothered to call the admissions office and ask when we can expect the results. I really want to have an official date better than “Mid-December”. As much as I doubt it, hopefully they’ll release this friday instead of next.
Most likely will be the 15th… CSS says the financial aid award date is the 15th
