<p>Yeah, I noticed that the people working it seemed to be acting like you guys were already accepted during the official events, which I found a little odd. Don’t worry, even if you don’t get into Rice you will find that wherever you go is your dream school. Trust me, I went through a similar experience where I didn’t get into my favorite schools, but looking back I wouldn’t have picked any other place than Rice even if I had gotten in. :)</p>
<p>And haha that’s funny. I got my name from the book by Walter Dean Meyers titled Fallen Angels. It’s about the Vietnam War and the title references the soldiers who gave their lives during the war. I thought it was a very poignant term and came up with a username from it (the nine is a reference to my favorite number, which was my number in baseball for many years and thus a big part of who I am). But I completely understand the assumption!</p>
<p>Cool! I know who Walter Dean Myers Is b/c I read one of his books about a young man accused of a crime. And I think I w</p>
<p>Great author. And I have an unhealthy obsession with Rice so if I don’t get in I will become depressed. RICE ADCOM PLEASEEE YOU WONT REGRET IT… I’ll even bake you cookie</p>
<p>Ah sorry for the typo on his last name, I was in a rush.</p>
<p>And haha no I understand, I’m unhealthily obsessed with Rice now. But you will love wherever you end up, don’t worry.</p>
<p>I have an unhealthy obsession as well, please oh Rice accept me! I will make brownies!</p>
<p>I can’t get through ten minutes without thinking about Rice and whether I’ll get in. Nobody ever told me that waiting would be the hardest part. <em>shakes fist at sky</em> “Can’t the end of the month come any sooner!?” please let me get in.</p>
<p>I totally agree valerieplame. The wait is soo hard! But I think we can rest assured that we have given it our best -and there is nothing more we could do as far as the Rice decision goes. What ever is best for us will come our way. But what we can do is finish our senior year strong. Lets make these last few months a time we can always remember, by working hard and at the same time enjoying it all. =)</p>
<p>The wait is by far the worst, yes. But don’t worry, you’re in the final stretch, and then you’ll know. (Okay, I kid; the worst part is the last few hours of the wait specifically.)</p>
<p>Ahmad that’s inspiring! I think once I hear back I’ll relax and be able to focus on schoolwork more, no matter the outcome. Haha I’ve heard of people who have baked ad com people cakes and stalked them so they could leave it on their doorstep… I wouldn’t eat anything a student would bake XD</p>
<p>mysticalheavens, what you said about the cakes just reminded me of something ridiculous I saw about lemonade stands. Apparently police have been “shutting down” kid’s lemonade stands because of a regulation that they perhaps enforce too tightly about not knowing what the lemonade contains. And apparently to get a permit to officially sell lemonade from a good ole’ lemonade stand, you need to have a fire extinguisher. I guess lemonade is flammable nowadays? Lol. </p>
<p>Well, good luck to everyone with RD decisions! I’m excited to hear back in the next few weeks from Rice!</p>
<p>Just wondering guys, where did y’all apply ED? Or what other schools have you seen that you really like, top schools?</p>
<p>I applied ED to Johns Hopkibs but that dream was crushed. So not much hope for Rice.</p>
<p>Rice is the only one I applied ED to. Through Questbridge though, I applied to Yale and Stanford RD and I should hear back from them before April 1st.</p>
<p>I am from Florida, and I am majoring in Linguistics. I got accepted to Rice ED through questbridge and was also at Vision. I am really excited about Rice as well, and I hope I see some of you at school next year.</p>
<p>hi guys, i am a hopeful architect for rice’s class of 2016. i hope i get in this year! good luck to eeryone!</p>
<p>hi, im from LA, CA and i am going to be majoring for electrical engineering. i really hope that i will be accepted to rice</p>
