I remember how much thought went into your decision, last spring, Heinochus. If you decide to apply to Rice again, I would put a great deal of effort into explaining why you’ve changed your mind and why you are hoping that Rice will review your candidacy a second time. I would show some humility, too.

Heinochus, is it possible that you’re going through a nostalgic phase about the choice you made, and that you’re really just fine where you are? I remember wondering about my choice during freshman year – actually a few of us were feeling that way, and we talked about other schools – but ended up staying. So glad about that, too.

Please make a list of all the reasons you might want to transfer … what are you looking for? What would you be leaving behind if you changed schools …

This isn’t an easy process – find time to relax and be with people you enjoy.
