I was thinking of recommending Rice but didn’t want to add anymore Texas schools to the list. It’s in a great part of Houston. Your D would add geographic diversity there. I think it’s much harder for a Texas student to get merit at Rice when they are working hard to have more geographic diversity. Interest would be important to demonstrate.

What about CWRU? It’s also in a great part of Cleveland that has a lot of cultural opportunities. They give nice merit. Interest is very important to them. My D got nice merit from them.

I thought of Emory too but felt that merit there is harder to predict. Maybe applying to Oxford of Emory might give more of a merit edge.
