Hello, I’ve just applied ED to Rice for the class of 2025—one day before the deadline, no less!
While I’m feeling good about my application, I opted to upload my submission for “The Box” on the Student Admission Portal instead of on the application itself, and I’m a bit worried, as I haven’t received an email with the access information yet.
I was wondering how long after submitting my application it will take for the Portal access email to come? I’m really hoping I don’t miss the 11:59PM ED deadline today, so help from anyone with experience is much appreciated!
It usually takes a day or two, especially if it is over a weekend close to the deadline. You can contact the admissions office on Monday to make sure the material was received.
My son did the same thing yesterday regarding the Rice Box. It showed it uploaded on the portal – not on the checklist but just down near the upload button. I think he figured that was enough – I have no idea if he got a confirmation email.
Good luck to you!!
