Calgirl and everyone else, I hope you will focus on the kind of campus life Rice offers and not its “reputation,” whatever that means. If you do well at Rice, you will have the same opportunities as anyone else. Rice is a really difficult school and students are exceptionally bright, but there is a sense of collaboration rather than competition. The college system is fantastic.
My family went ahead and bought plane tickets to Houston (which were crazy cheap for some reason btw). If I don’t get in, we’ll just “trade them in” with the airline to go somewhere else. I think they don’t expire for like a whole year (on Southwest) at least, so maybe you can talk about that if they don’t come out in the next couple days.
^ On that note, if I do get in ,I will be attending Owl Days for sure as they happen to fall on my Spring Break.
When are the decisions coming out ?
@texasmom15 & @kwebb33, thanks for the info & suggestions. hopefully i will be able to take part in the owl days before i made a final decision.
@Rag22304 We don’t really know. We’re hoping for today because of past releases, but we don’t really know that it’ll be today.
“Rice announced on March 26 in 2013”

That was the fourth Tuesday in March, which would correspond to today. I really hope it’s today because my spring break is next week, and I need to plan a trip.
This might just be a repeat of Northwestern, expecting for two days and getting nothing (hopefully I don’t get the same decision) :-/
Did Alabama not send out their acceptances? I thought they did so on a rolling basis.
@vegaslauara They did. I meant that I got an email from them around 6pm EST yesterday. When I heard my phone vibrate, I thought it was an email from Rice.
Pleaseeeeeee Rice let it be today!
I can’t wait any longer. I really hope it’s today
ME TOO @ninadasiy
Regardless of the day, at what time should we expect the email?
Girl who was deferred ED said she received an email at 4:01 CST
So, if it’s today it would be sometime within the next hour or two.
Ugh its 5:01 est
Has anyone received an email yet? @collegeapps2k14 I was deferred ED and I didn’t get an email yet. What did hers say?
It would actually be in an hour
Most have been saying it came at 5 pm CST in past years.
I think it will be 5pm CST. 4pm CST would be 2pm California time zone (I don’t know the name of it), and I think admissions is cognizant that people are still in school at that time. But then again, a lot of schools on the east coast release decisions at 5pm, which would be 2pm California time, so maybe admissions is not that cognizant.
