So for Physics generally, Georgia Tech has a WAAAAAY bigger undergrad Physics program, but Rice actually does a relatively good job producing future PhDs.

However, Georgia Tech has an Applied Physics undergrad program, whereas Rice apparently does not. So if that is a particular interest that would seem to point to Georgia Tech.

Otherwise they are very different colleges in terms of size, often cost, and so on, which I would think would normally dominate a decision over which to do for general Physics.
