i coulda applied here, have family in houston so it woulda made some sense, but i never really felt myself seriously considering here, and theyre another school big on gpa and mine wouldnt have cut it. houston's a weird place, its waaaay diff than i imagined, and ive heard diff things about rice's social scene, i dont know how comfortable i woulda been there

Applied Regular Decision 2010
Brother currently enrolled, Reach: I felt like I had enough schools up north and in the Midwest, so I went down south... To my brother's school. It's a great place that I wouldn't mind going to, even though I have a sibling enrolled. In fact, it's probably in my top three.

I would be thrilled here, amazing research opportunities, TX medical center across the street, but perhaps too southern for me?
