<p>got the fat envelope today</p>
<p>whoohoo!!! Back when it seemed like my son's major would be physics, Rice was at the top of the short list. I liked the residential college program there. Congrats to your son!!!!</p>
<p>Simba:</p>
<p>Terrific news! Congrats to your S.</p>
<p>That's great! Do all the kids find out now?</p>
<p>Congratulations! That is wonderful news.</p>
<p>Congratulations - Rice is a wonderful school! Good for your son!</p>
<p>Simba, congrats to your son. My D is a soph at Rice, so feel free to ask me any questions.</p>
<p>That's wonderful news!</p>
<p>Simba-
Congrats!! Your s. will LOVE it. Like Momofwildchild, I've got a s. there. Anxiousmom has a d. who is a freshman. All of our kids are extremely happy! Feel free to ask any q's or for any help!</p>
<p>Congrats, Simba! The fat envelope is fun to get, isn't it?</p>
<p>Yippee! How terrific for your son! I hope you are all basking in the glow of this moment and achievement. I did not realize some big news would happen around now but yours is a shining moment on this forum today! Congratulations to your boy.

<p>Simba, Rice is a great school. Two kids from D's school have gone there recently and loved it. Congrats to your Son.</p>
<p>Thank you all. I the collective wisdom of this forum was certainly helpful. Yes it was very nice to get the fat envelope, but it was a torture. We had promised S that only he would open it - we had to wait more than an hour before he came home from school !!</p>
<p>Yay!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Alright Simba's SON!!! Thank goodnees the acceptances ae still coming in while we wait for the April madness...I love good news :)</p>
<p>Simba-
Did your s. happen to catch the Rice-UTEP basketball game on ESPN-2 on Saturday?? what a nailbiter!! Jenskate-- did you go to the game???</p>
<p>Congrats! As mentioned above my DD is a freshman, and has already taken part in so many neat experiences. She is really enjoying all the opportunities at Rice. Will your son be attending or are you still waiting for other acceptances to make your decision???</p>
<p>Simba: Wait a minute!!! I just noticed that you're from Houston. I know Rice is a (capital-G) Great school, but so close to home....?</p>
<p>About the fat envelope: As my son waited for word from the Honors Tutorial College at Ohio, we got a fat envelope from HTC a week ago. I could barely wait for him to get home from school to open it. Surely they would not put a rejection in a fat envelope. But, disappointment. The envelope was only some informational material. The acceptance came this week... in a thin envelope. More nail biting till he opened it, but it was good news.</p>
<p>Digmedia: I'm and Ohio U. alum too. I had some dancer friends in the HTC. It was a neat program. I hope your son enjoys his time at OU. I know I did!</p>
<p>jym - i was there, yes... :(</p>
<p>It was fun though!</p>
