**Rice University 2016 Regular Decision Applicants!**

<p>Also waiting in FL! I visited during Vision and LOOOOVED it. Fingers crossed.</p>

<p>applied EA to Taylor Gang and Ball So Hard University. Accepted to both, but I like to keep my options open, I love Rice too.</p>

<p>I applied REA to Stanford but I wasn’t accepted. Right now I’m considering Vanderbilt heavily and will have to make a tough decision between the two if Rice accepts me with merit money. I’m like both schools but I’m going to have to wait until Rice’s letter.</p>

<p>Apoc i know what you mean. I’m extremely worried about the cost, because Rice isnt like WashU and doesn’t have any merit aid to apply for. I’m middle class, and so i don’t think the fafsa is going to score my family much money. I’m hoping for some form of scholarship because my family can’t comfortably pay for the EFC w/o selling our house, and I have a younger sister. Do any current Rice students attend on a scholarship who are middle class? GAKK Rice is my first choice and I hope they can help me attend! Not trying to be dramatic haha, I just need the godam decisions to come out XDD</p>

<p>Hi, I’m from Dallas, TX</p>

<p>I applied to MIT through Questbridge, and MIT contacted me directly after I wasn’t accepted anywhere through QB. They asked if I would be okay going into their ED pool, and it was my number one, so I was really happy. They said no, so that really crushed my dream. I’m trying not to think about any of my other admission decisions now, because not getting in to MIT really hurt. I don’t want to get my hopes up, Y’know?
You all are just as obsessed as I was :P</p>

<p>Is the March 20th admissions decision day for all RD students??</p>

<p>where are people getting this idea that the decision date is the 20th?</p>

<p>Hi guys! Best of luck to each and everyone of you. I truly hope you all get in because I know how much all of us here want to get in and what it would mean to us. I was born in India but have lived here in Ohio for most of my life…GO BUCKEYES sorry I’ll be a fan till I die! Hope to meet all of you at O-week. and is it just me or do you guys wake up everyday and immediately start wondering if your going to get your accpetance letter today? I’m talking about right after I get up lol. I feel like this happens to you guys too! best of luck again guys I hope to get to know all of you well next year if I get in. Oh and I plan on double majoring in biochemistry and Humanities</p>

<p>Navibear I do wake up wondering that XD… And at Visions we were told that the 20th was the notification date… I really hope nothing delays decisions because I can barely concentrate on school. I want my life back! Lol</p>

<p>When was Visions? Just wondering if it was recent enough for them to have a realistic idea that they would be finished by 3/20.</p>

<p>Nervous for Tuesday now if they really will email us on 3/20…</p>

<p>Maybe it’s just 3/20 for URMs (underrepresented minorities)?</p>

<p>I would be really surprised if they had separate decision days.</p>

<p>VISION was feb 12-14.</p>

<p>it would make sense if it was the 20th…they released it on Tuesday the 22nd last year.</p>

<p>Then why do you think the admissions officers aren’t telling anyone anything besides April 1st??</p>

<p>Because that’s how they all do it. They like to surprise us. I remember that for Stanford REA, they always said December 15th then on December 9th early in the morning they said to expect the decision today. So it’s a surprise thing I suppose.</p>

<p>^ Yea the purpose of a “surprise” is that you don’t tell anyone…but everyone knows…Lol</p>

<p>can’t sleep. can’t eat. sweaty palms. daydreaming. guys…I think I’m in love–I think I’m in love with Rice. I’m not sure if this is healthy.</p>

<p>Valerieplame, you’re not alone. Today’s my b-day and I’m hardly celebrating from how anxious I am. Getting accepted would be the best birthday present EVER! I can’t focus on my school stuff either. And yup, I’m thinking about whether I’ll get in like every ten minutes.</p>
