<p>Why not apply through QB and list Rice as first (and only) choice. If your S get matched to Rice, it’s a full ride. If not, just have QB put the app through to RD and take your chances with FA.</p>
<p>If your son has other QB colleges that he’d like to try to be matched with, then he should go ahead and list them, but if he gets matched with one, it’s binding. So if he’d be disappointed if it wasn’t Rice, he shouldn’t list any others.</p>
