[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are very similar. I think Rice is an easier admit. Neither university is a bastion of diversity though. Both lean conservative and both located in MAGA dominated state legislatures.

In such states usually the most liberal place in the state is the flagship university.[/quote]

Rice is likely among the most diverse schools in the country. And almost no one at Rice identifies as a Trump supporting conservative. If you are looking for a white, fratty, southern school, Rice is definitely not it. It's largely a happy nerd school with a great campus in the nicest area of Houston.

I get the Texas thing. But North Carolina isn't much better. And no one is singing the praises of Durham. At least in Houston, you eat well.

Generally, Rice is really good in STEM and pre-med. Better than Duke. Also good in other things, but that's what they are known for. They are next to the largest medical complex in the world, so lots of opportunities for the pre-med students.

I personally think the whole South and Texas and politics thing is overblown. If you want MAGA, go to a SLAC in New England or the Midwest. MAGA tends to be rural and small town people. Not frickin' Houston, which is one of the bluest and most diverse cities in the country. [/quote]
