<p>You could just call and ask. 
Iām sure the admission men and women would be able to explain the webstie and when the decisions go online, although they might be a bit grumpy about it.</p>
<p>iām expecting it inā¦ 2 hours
but following rjās logic, my last name starts with a W so i guess it wonāt come, lol
plus mail always comes slower to my house for some reasonā¦
wow. this is seriously killing me. plus finals and im almost ready to eat someoneās arm.</p>
<p>Well I might call them but I am sure that they are getting so many calls about that same topic that they might not be too happy about it. I just donāt want to have to wait two weeks more which is about how long it takes mail to get here from TX or at least from Dallas.</p>
<p>I sent them an email saturday asking; still havenāt heard back</p>
<p>Well Rice isnāt exactly known for speedy e-mail responses. I am still waiting for a response to an e-mail I sent in early October.</p>
<p>same lol, theyāve never answered my emails.
just got the mailā¦ nothing =[</p>
<p>lol the admissions @rice.edu one doesnāt seem to be very helpfulā¦ THe last time I called to ask a question they gave me this specific email, but iām afraid to use it now since it was such a corny questionā¦ i mean we DO have like 2 days left.
but ah, the suspenseā¦</p>
<p>It took three days for my letter from UofH to reach me and i live in el Paso if that gives you and accurate measure of how long it takes for mail to travel accross the same state. =P Naturally, it might take less time if you are near a larger city saying as theyād fly the mail to that larger city and then send it to you. So, basically, a person up in Chicago could get a faster acceptance letter than a person in a small city in Texas. funny, eh?</p>
<p>my admission status webpage was just updated againā¦maybe they sent out the letter todayā¦when was everyone elseās last updated? It may even give clues as to who got inā¦</p>
<p>Mine was updated today as well but nothing is different.</p>
<p>Information as of: 12-DEC-05 05:05:49 PM</p>
<p>Yeah, I am about to go home to check my mail but I kinda doubt anything is gonna be there at this rate. =P</p>
<p>hm. so glad im not the only that didnt get the letter. my last name starts w/ Z, so it is alpha orderā¦ >.<
good luck on finals everyone!</p>
<p>mine starts w/ S</p>
<p>āAā here, and nothing yet. But I am quite far away, in Cincinnati and allā¦</p>
<p>I think that mail should be moving faster since it is so close to Christmas though and the post office always gets more workers to deal with mail this time of year. I just got a letter from relatives in Dallas today and it was postmarked the 7th. On the other hand I never received that financial aid packet that everyone was talking about.</p>
<p>yeah, even though iām W i live around 5 min from riceā¦ sooā¦ i dono whats up
is it true acceptance letters are priority and rejection/deferral are regular mail??!? if so that really freaks me out.</p>
<p>I am not sure if that is true for ED. I know it is true for Regular Decision. I got mine last year as a priority mail regular decision.</p>
<p>Well they most likely mail out all of the acceptances priority than regardless of the decision time. Of course first class mail usually moves pretty fast as well so I donāt really see how it makes that much of a difference.</p>
<p>gotta know, gotta know, gotta know right now!</p>
