[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the folks suggesting Pomona (leaning into the benefits of the Claremont affiliation), Northwestern, or William and Mary. Part of what is pretty unique about Rice is its size. And OP, if your kid likes everything about Rice but Texas, I echo the folks suggesting you visit because Houston is really, really different than any notion of Texas that most people have (or apply and then visit if she gets in). [/quote]

William and Mary is nothing like Rice.   Pomona is nothing like Rice.  Rice is primarily known for its STEM majors, not so for the others.[/quote]
Pomona’s best majors are in Math, Biology, Neuroscinece, Chem… I don’t have experience with these others but you’re gonna need to be a bit more specific by what you mean with STEM.[/quote]

Not sure what you mean by “best majors” since it’s not a R1.  Sophisticated STEM research won’t be available.[/quote]
?? Students are getting national undergraduate awards in these subjects. It is where many of the resources go. Being ignorant about lacs is fine, but I also think to say Pomona is bad at STEM is just flat out wrong. Check out any grad school feeder rankings![/quote]
