<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>So I've narrowed it down to Claremont McKenna or Rice, and I'm having some difficulties making a final decision. I'm planning on studying spanish/hispanic studies while probably dabbling in political science. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>A few things that might be helpful...</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Any thoughts on what you'd like in a college? These are both schools with great academics, so feel free to get "superficial" in your response. Just a bit more of an idea of what you're looking for beyond "good school".</p></li>
<li><p>Any thoughts on what you think you <em>don't</em> want in a college?</p></li>
<li><p>Specific reasons that you really like both schools, reasons you ruled others out, reasons you're torn, etc.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>A bit more info might make it easier for people to respond even if they're not too familiar with both of the schools :)</p>
<p>For the record, I finally got sick of subjective comparison, so my guidance counselor came up with a tidy little way to help me make my final choice. There were matrices, multiplication, and numerical scores...very helpful to my analytic mind! It's a bit odd to explain, but feel free to ask if you'd like the details.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice! i guess i wasn't as torn as i thought i was. i just sat down with my parents to weigh my options, and i kept coming back to how much i feel like rice is the place for me. but, again, thanks for being so supportive!</p>
<p>Congrats on your decision...based on what I know, Rice seems like a fantastic place :)</p>
<p>(Have you ever seen The</a> T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project ? Years before my own application cycle, it alone was enough to sell me on the school...)</p>
<p>Wow! This is really cool. I wish my physics class were this interesting!</p>
