<p>Your username is very appropriate, confusedboy. Rice and WashU are “very identical”? Do you have any idea how ludicrous that statement is? Besides the fact that two things cannot be “very identical” (they either are or aren’t), overlap in admissions does not make two schools similar. Rice and WashU may have similar admissions stats, but beyond that there’s not much else. Rice’s student life is built around the residential college system; WashU’s is built around the Greek system. Rice has 3,000 undergrads; WashU has 6,000. Rice has NCAA D1 sports; WashU is in the UAA. Rice is in Houston (the best city in the US for recent college grads); WashU is in St. Louis (enough said?). And those are just the superficial differences. I haven’t been a student at WashU, so I can’t tell you how those superficial differences affect student life, but I can assure you that these two schools are not “identical.”</p>
<p>Please think before making a statement like that.</p>
