<p>…Based on what? Newsweek? Haha. It’s irrelevant, anyhow. Rice concentrates on undergrads, while UT concentrates on graduate students. It would be a stupid comparison to make. If you wanted to get your MBA, I would personally recommend that you go to UT. Since you’re applying for undergrad engineering, I think the choice should be clear. Rice is known for the strength of its engineering and applied science programs (both undergrad and graduate), especially in the medical field. Northwestern wouldn’t be a bad choice, either, but I believe that you’d have a better experience at Rice.</p>
