<p>There always people at every school who will go there for the name. Rice is an outstanding school. I hope I am able to get in. Why not wear the name? There is a reason Yale and Princeton have the recognizable name that they have. It’s a outstanding school as well. I will agree that less pretentious people will be at Rice, but you would be able to one people who aren’t that at the Ivies. Regardless,Rice and the Ivies are great schools and no doubt you should be proud to get in.</p>
