But Rice really does have a bit of a “really hard school” rep, at least in Texas. An old high school classmate of mine left after first year for SMU because he couldn’t cut the mustard at Rice. He said the kids did nothing but study hard. Ugh. I don’t believe that can be said of Vandy, Emory, Notre Dame and the others you name. An easier or more fun school down the street wouldn’t draw off their typical applicants.
