<p>Hard to tell. S was accepted at WUSTL and Rice, and we have visited both. However, while he interviewed on campus at WUSTL, he had to settle for an alumni interview at Rice because they were booked solid at the time we visited it. To be able to set a Rice alumni interview, S had to email the admissions office multiple times over the span of many months. He finally interviewed in late December and felt that he actually didn’t do all that well on his Rice interview compared to his other interviews. So he either did better than he thought, or the interviews don’t weigh as heavily as other factors.</p>
<p>As for your daughter, I wish her best of luck with the Rice WL, should she decide to pursue it, but I think that it’s great that she was accepted at WUSTL. In my opinion these two schools share many of the same strengths.</p>
