Visit Activities:


Admissions Interview: Yes - Tip to follow: Dress formal. A lot of the posts on this webstite say to dress casual. If you dress casual, you'll regret it. My interviewer and the other interviewers were dressed in suits.

Information Session: Yes - The girl talking was a little weird. :P She's one of the admissions officer.

Campus Tour: Yes - So beautiful. The trees, plants, grassy fields are so nice. The architecture is very nice too.

Visit Description:

Rice is nice :]

Even though this sounds crazy, I rather choose Rice over Harvard.
