<p>I’m not sure if any of you are still even on CC, but I would like to ask some similar advice. I was wondering whether you guys can give me an opinion on the difficulty of Rice vs. UT Austin. I love Rice, but it costs a LOT more for me and I need advice on whether I should attend.</p>
<p>I am concerned that my GPA in engineering will be much lower at Rice than UT and would preclude me from getting a job later on. Do you guys know what the average Chem Eng or Mech Eng undergrad GPA is at Rice? Would it hurt to go to Rice over UT (I am assuming UT is easier but may be wrong). How hard is it to succeed at Rice and get a good job compared with UT undergrads? I love Rice and really want to go, but I am really concerned that my GPA will be significantly lower and will keep me out of getting into good grad school or even a job for that matter. In your experience was there enough time to sleep or have a social life? How does it compare to the IB program in terms of difficulty? Please give me your advice on this. Thank you so much!</p>
