[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We turned down Columbia for Rice. Less drama.[/quote] First, "we" didn't turn down anything: your Rice-bound kid did; and the fact that so many parents can't separate themselves from their children is precisely what's screwing them up. Second, Rice is a great school, but the fact that you're all for "less drama" says something about your privilege and self-interest. And if your child chose Rice for the same reason, well, s/he' s no loss for Columbia. [/quote] +1 For every Rice cross-admit who turn down Columbia, there are 10 who turn down Rice for Columbia. [/quote] Rice and Columbia are such dissimilar schools that I doubt there are too many students applying to both. And nobody who got into one of the STEM majors at Rice is giving that up for Columbia. Finance and psychology, maybe. Engineering and pre-med, no. [/quote]
