Rice University ED Class of 2020 ****OFFICIAL THREAD*******

Have any Questbridge applicants heard back? Last year they started getting decisions on Dec. 1.

Questbridge finalist here. I wasn’t matched :frowning: but did rank Rice. I am applying ED to Rice now.

@jlui275 We’re on the same boat man. I’m super nervous for the results.
Also, for people who are posting their results with the intention of going back and editing the post to reveal their acceptance, I would advise against it as CC doesn’t allow users to edit their posts after a couple hours. Unfortunately I’ve already made this mistake. Good luck to everyone!!

Do you guys think that Rice ED might have a higher acceptance rate for ED applicants this year because of the new scholarship? Like perhaps they want to encourage more applicants? Just a thought.

It’s so close! I’m so nervous!

@ricelucy45 honestly the ED rate is probably higher since there are less applicants.

Do you guys know if decisions will be posted on Esther or the Rice Student Portal?

portal i’ve heard

@mallorypike

It says on the portal:

Thank you for applying to Rice! Use your Rice Admission portal to:

Request an optional interview
Track the status of all your required application materials
Update your email address
Upload materials to your application
View your final admission decision <—

No, I don’t think so. As @wandlmink previously stated:

“I went back through the CC threads of the past four years to see when Rice released ED decisions and there is no clear pattern.
2014 – Friday, Dec. 12 at 5 pm EST
2013 – Monday, Dec. 16 at 12 pm EST (supposedly issues with California somehow delayed things - ??? )
2012 – Friday, Dec. 14 at 12 pm EST
2011 – Thursday, Dec. 15 at 5 pm EST
Next Friday, the 11th, seems to early. Most likely is Monday, the 14th, or Tuesday, the 15th.”

The earliest is probably in 2 days, but nobody knows exactly I think

@ricelucy45
How do you know that the acceptance rate is higher this year as apprised to previous years? Just curious.

I’m so jealous of my friends who applied to like MIT and Duke… they know exactly what day and time the decisions come out haha

So we find out tomorrow, Monday, or Tuesday!!

I’m guessing Monday because past years it’s never been before the 12th and always on a weekday but who knows. Good luck everyone! Fingers crossed!!

@literatechild

Yea but it’s also been Thursday/Friday as well :stuck_out_tongue:

My daughter’s counselor just called to tell me that she got a phone call from Rice yesterday that decisions will be out at 4:00 (Central) today.

SIX MORE HOURS I CAN’T WAIT!

Are you positive? Cuz that would be awesome!!!

I’m just going by what Rice told our counselor. I’m not sure if they do them all at once or gradually depending on location. We are in south Texas.

Oh god. That means in less than 4 hours we’ll know. Freaking out!
