With all due respect, please learn more about Rice before judging students that attend Rice. There are many flaws/misinformation in your argument.</p>
<h1>1. The use of USNews. This is probably the worse source you can point to and make your argument. Why? USNews is BIAS, their methodology is peer review, acceptance rate, yield, yeah not a good way to rank schools. It has been criticized by college counselors, students, parents etc… using USNews is very weak</h1>
<p>Also, Rice is not a place to just to study Biomed Engineering. Rice was ranked #1 in the country for Material Science. And no this is not some flawed ranking based on peer review, this is based on research outputs. The research publication output by Rice was had 31.36 citations per paper. In other words, Rice easily beat Harvard, which published many more papers but ranked second at 27.63. So yeah, Rice’s engineering research is very extensive and amazing. </p>
<h1>2. Rice DOES NOT HAVE A MEDICAL SCHOOL! Seriously, this really just showed that your argument lacks credibility. Please do your research on Rice before denouncing Rice students.</h1>
