As an adult, who happens to be a recruiter in IT, I agree with your mother. The key is how you tell them. You might want to say something like this:
I’m writing to let you know that Rice is still my top choice for schools, even though I have been admitted EA to UChicago. I really would love to attend Rice because… (or I feel Rice is a perfect fit for me because…).
You’re not bragging, you’re giving them important information and you then have another chance to reinforce why you want to go the Rice, to show that you understand the benefits of Rice and that you REALLY, REALLY want to go. The point you want to make is that it’s not just another school for you and you will accept if you are given a chance.
Good luck! My son loves Rice.
