To emphasize what Lenny said, it’s really incredible how work-hard party-hard this school is. There are people who out 3 or 4 times a week and are still pulling A’s in their engineering classes. Being a part of the Greek system doesn’t make you less intelligent like people seem to imagine. Greek or not, they were admitted to Vanderbilt, all have great scores, and all came from the top of their highschool class. Greek systems may be full of neanderthals at many schools but that’s just not the case here. It’s not even possible.

Rice is pretty stingy with FA and I doubt they will reconsider but it’s worth a try. I’m personally very glad that I turned down my offer from Rice, even though I originally had it ranked higher. I love this school and hate leaving it for any reason. I’m dreading the summer,
