<p>:D
If we all do get in, I’ll also be happy to discuss it further with you guys. Sigh, I can’t wait until graduation (early june for me).</p>
<p>Same here icymoon =)</p>
<p>Hey, where in Cali are you btw? I was in LA for 8 weeks this past summer and it was AMAZING.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Cheers:).</p>
<p>fillerfillerfillerfillerfiller</p>
<p>Haha, glad to know you enjoyed California, athlon. I live pretty close to LA, too.</p>
<p>And nspeds, you must also get in as well so I’ll have someone to argue with, right? ;)</p>
<p>justa um question…why are we all posting on the ED thread and not the ID one? ED is already over…</p>
<p>icymoon,</p>
<p>I hope you get in too:), I am praying every minute.</p>
<p>Did all of you apply ID?</p>
<p>Haha, um I don’t know why I’m posting in the ED thread… it just seems more active than the current ID one.</p>
<p>Yeah, ID applicant here.</p>
<p>Yes. I applied ID also…</p>
<p>fair enough, athlon. Late night discussions around the pool or pingpong table or over a couple beers at Willy’s are key. I hope all you guys will be taking a one way flight to Houston come August. :)</p>
<p>Pat, you’re a college basketball fan eh? Then you must be well aware that my Fighting Illini is #1 right now and WILL go all the way this year! ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or a one way drive; I live in Sugar Land;)</p>
<p>Yes, I am quite aware. NC is the only team in the country that I believe has a fighting chance against Illini. Actually, one of my good friend’s parents both went to UI-UC and he’s a big fan. His loyalties to the Rice basketball team run much deeper though. 
Our basketball team is so awesome and they don’t separate themselves from the rest of the student body like athletes do at most D1 schools. If you get into Rice, I will definitely give you the scoop on the Autry Army, our basketball fan club. btw, my roommate, Lorenzo Williams, is on the team - you can find a pic and bio @ riceowls.com</p>
<p>Hey, I’m a National Merit Semifinalist, and I was wondering how the Semifinalists who applied ED fared in getting in?</p>
<p>LOL! man, i didn’t realize the “audience” to whom I was addressing when I posted onto this website. I forgot that parents as well as children are concerned over the “college blues.” I did not use the word “gay” in an offensive strike against homosexuals. That’s so funny that people even took this seriously. I sure hope I did not cause anyone to lose their sleep with anger. I simply used the word because as we all know that “this” word is used in common slang and jargon and only slipped out as a word of mouth. Thou asks for forgiveness. Now, Rice admitted 100 deferred applicants last year, is this correct? See the problem with that is that I don’t know how many got defferred to begin with. If there are 150 that were defferred or 200 and 100 got in, that’s nearly 50-75% yield of the deferred kids, which if were true i would feel MUCH more relieved, however, my friend who got deferred by MIT says that only 17% were flat rejected early d. 20% were accepted, and the rest were defferred, now that’s plenty of competition. WEll, if all else fails, there is always UT, (thou comes from Houston). And I see there are many College basketball fans, GOOD! I LOOOOOOOVE COLLEGE BASKETBALL! which will not only justify my next point but add substance to my knowledge when i say that KENTUCKY IS WINNING IT ALL! sorry athlonmj but shelton williams is SOOO GOOD! but there is always faith in duke…TAKE CARE EVERYONE SORRY FOR MY FOUL LANGUAGE!!! ( i guess since we are on a rice forum, we speak F-OWL language, not FOUL language) HAHAH!!! <em>crickets chirp</em> <em>hecklers pick up thier tomates.</em> PEACE!</p>
<p>btw, nspeds, i hate when people use the word “retarted” offensively…i REALLY hate it…(thou brother is blind)…i understand everyone’s sensitivity…<em>SORRY</em></p>
<p>Yeah sometimes people forget their “audience”… just keep in mind that this is a public forum, meaning anyone like parents, alumni interviewers, teachers, and admissions officers (the list goes on) could be frequenting these boards.</p>
<p>where has everybody gone?</p>
<p>I think your bad grammar turned them off.</p>
<p>Can someone get deferred from Interim Decision to Regular Decision, or do only ED applicants get deferred to Regular?</p>
