blackeyedsusan: Sure would be nice if more places could do it like rice, Caltech and some state schools. Jumping through hoops doing the apps is bad enough, doing it several times is worse and some of the scholars weekends overlap each other and of course require kids to miss days duirng that "all important " senior year we hear about. Interesting enougn it appears the total percent of scholarhips students is the same at Rice and WasU and even Caltech for that matter, about 10%. Perhaps they feel with the interview they can screen better and get a higher yield from those they offer to. There seemed to be a fair amount of discontent on the Rice board too after the letters were received. Maybe more discontent here because so many more applied and did the extra work.
