I really loved Rice - like really really loved it. But Tulane gave me full tuition, which will be stable over four years, and I won’t suddenly not be able to afford college with my family’s weird financial situation. Additionally, I feel that Tulane will be slightly less competitive, and since I’m premed I’m hoping to make mostly A’s. Obviously I will still have to work very hard, but Rice seems much more like my high school: extremely rigorous and somewhat unforgiving. Tulane comes off as more relaxed. And although mostly unimportant, I hate Houston. Rice, on the other hand, has amazing residential colleges and a more diverse and nerdy student body.
