[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Each of these schools is strong, but neither has something for everyone. Stated differently, each is a good fit for certain types students, but not others, compared to HYPS where there is a niche for everyone who can get in. More social, rah-rah types would tend to prefer Duke, and more introspective, intellectual kids would tend to prefer Rice. [/quote] Good points. What is the main draw of Rice? Is it the pipeline to venture capital and Silicon Valley? Something else? [/quote] I'd consider Rice like a hybrid of Chicago and Northwestern but in Texas. A lot of very intellectual kids like Chicago (or how Chicago used to be) but also a very strong pre-professional orientation like Northwestern. Maybe also a bit like Carnegie Mellon but with a nicer campus and warmer weather. I'd say it's more of a pipeline to grad school or to professional (law, business, medical) school than SV. [/quote]
