<p>Rice/Baylor was considered a top notch program until Baylor’s rank started collapsing from about 10 to the now 22 due to their breakup with Methodist Hospital. They made some missteps since then trying to build a hospital and running into financial problems because of that. It is still a great combination when you consider the cost of attendance at Baylor both instate and OOS. People try to become instate by the end of first year by acquiring some property before they start school.</p>
