For my box picture it was me on a plane (coincidentally on my way to Rice for the fly-in). Not very creative but it got me matched. Can’t wait for the 14th!! ready to meet my new classmates!!!
@CMKingOfFl Are you sure it’s the 14th? Did your match letter say that?
for my box submission I sent a picture of a painting I drew in 4th grade of my favorite teddy bear on my bed, next to my teddy bear on that same bed
did you guys do your alumni interviews? how do u think it went?
the 14th??? @CMKingOfFl I thought it was the 15th??
@lexilexi3 I did an on-campus interview with an alum who was also a staff member. Personally, I think it went well, we laughed a lot and had a pretty good time and the 40ish minutes passed by very quick. you?
For mine I sent a picture of me on a Boy Scouts high adventure camp with me covered in mud and carrying a huge backpack. I think it shows how I like challenges or whatever
Rice informed QB match students that they will be receiving an official admission packet on the 14th.
We may or may not receive it on the same day (I’m thinking we will!). I’m believing that we will receive it on the 15th at the latest.
I really hope Rice gets out the ED results tomorrow! 
Looks like anxiety is building up!
I wish they would send an email about the date and time decisions are out
All I want for Christmas… is to at least get on the waiting list for Rice :-S
Does Rice send an email notifying us of when decisions will come out before they do or do we just have to check at 5pm everyday for the upcoming week?
in the past years, people have called the admissions office asking when they will be released.
Are you sure decision comes out at 5PM? I’m dying from nervousness.
usually it’s been 5pm EST 4pm CST, but there’s no reason they would have to do that this year. I just think it’s likely.
I hope everyone on this thread gets in. I feel like we’ve all connected through our same panic-before-the-final-decision-for-rice-class-of-2022 kind of way
sadly not everyone will get in but we can all hope! Hope to meet you all at rice next year!
I love how active this thread is getting as the days go by. How are you guys keeping your mind off of the looking decision date? I can’t help but keep obsessing over it
@justwant2gradu8 I told my D to spend some time searching for alternative schools that she’d fall in love second to Rice which she’ll apply for RD. That way she’ll get back up quick even if the result is not what she’d want it to be. Love can only be healed by love. Hey you all, Tom Hanks said life is like a box of chocolate. You may get a bitter taste first time but never know what you’ll pick next!
Are we sure it’s going to be this week or next week? I’ll call them in a few hours when the office opens.
