<p>Right, I realize that pre-med is not a major, thats why at Boston College right now I am a biology major with a math minor, not a pre-med major. And I realize that Rice doesn’t have a bio major, but seeing as I’m at Boston College right now, I am as of right now a biology major. I will be an incoming sophomore if i choose to attend, and I love a lot of things about Rice, as well as Duke (i should preface by saying I haven’t been admitted to Duke, but if I do get accepted, my decision will be between these 2 schools. If not, then I likely will go to Rice). I’ve lived in Massachusetts my whole life and just kind of want to get out of here and live somewhere else so I know what there is. I like warm weather. I really, really like the residential college system, and the strong science program is a plus considering I’m a science major. I visited last year and loved the campus and Rice Village. Basically, theres not much I don’t like about Rice. But at the same time, my sister goes to Duke and I also love Duke, just a little bit less than Rice, so if the money is comparable, it’s going to be a hard decision for me.</p>
<p>"Texas Medical Center, which is the world’s largest medical district and houses over 40 hospitals and more. "</p>
<p>This is what I mean. I know the TMC is located near by, but do most students find opportunities there? How is Rice’s relationship with the hospitals located there? Is there any specific relationship Rice has with any hospitals that helps Rice students? Also, at Boston College, there is a program that allows students to apply to Tufts Medical School as sophomores for acceptance after undergrad studies are completed. Does Rice have anything similar, such as with Baylor? Any similar information regarding Duke would be much appreciated as well.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
