But you have to get into UT Austin. It is very hard (in or out of state). Two of the Rice students we met when my kid toured campus went to Rice as their consolation school because they did not get into UT Austin.
This doesn't change the fact that rice is not a good investment. It does well in IB placements. It's not considered a target school - HYP, Columbia, Stanford, UPenn, NYU, UMich, UVA, UT-Austin, UC Berkeley...
If OP is ok with the tuition, that's all it matters. The truth is, it comes up short even against state flagships.
