I know we still have a lot of time and generally I a one of those who would say keep positive attitude. But with calls are already getting out, it is kind of nerve-wracking. I'd have easily waited till the end, had it been the case for all. But when a few find out and I am still waiting, it is getting a bit tough.

I'm hopeful for you and hope to see you in Houston; you're obviously thoughtful and Rice sounds like a personal fit. No matter the outcome, you've got an attitude for success and you're going to forge a path toward your goals. I'm keeping the positive vibes alive toward good news!

Congratulation to all the aspirants who made it

This waiting thing is really nerve-wracking. With each passing day, positivity is taking a step back, and negativity is expanding its footprint in my mind :(

There's a new addition to the decision tracker today, but nothing since last week prior.

I did receive my admissions package in the mail today; it's a very nice touch.

I received a box that included hard copy of my acceptance letter on letterhead (identical to the digital letter online), a card signed by the admissions team, and a couple of Rice Business mementos. I don't want to ruin any surprises for those who want to see it for themselves, but feel free to private message me for the specifics.

After taking a quick look back over the threads from the last couple of years, it's not looking great. However, there's never a huge sample of applicants on this site for Rice, so I'm hoping to be wrong on this. Would love to hear it if somebody knew/heard otherwise!

I would think if their release date is Friday they might be contacting people starting tomorrow. Remain calm.

At this stage, only a rare chance that one would make it.
As pointed out before, it is relatively small sample here, but still it shows some trend. And for whoever didn't hear so far, brace!!!
