Not to dent the hopes for aspiring engineers and doctors but a significant number of people change their intended majors after a couple of semesters. It’s not just a Rice phenomenon but one that is prevalent in a lot of colleges that do not have a rigid curriculum set. Doesn’t mean they drop them as they could not “hack” it. They just found something else they are actually interested in or find their niche in something else. I started college intending to major in Mathematics but am happy that I do not have to take a pure maths class ever again at this point and this is coming from someone who won a bronze in an international math competition. Most people as freshman don’t have the knowledge about half of the opportunities that lie ahead of them after college. And Rice is one of those best colleges to explore the opportunities and pursue the field you want.
