<p>I applied Early Decision to Rice about a month ago, while my family's financial status would allow me to attend Rice (or any top tier private) for a very low cost, due to our low EFC. Recently, my dad got a job that makes our income about 110k +70k in savings, which means that starting my sophomore year, I would be paying substanially more for Rice as opposed to a public school like UT. </p>

<p>Although there is a financial aid calculator on rice's website, I would like to have some second opinions, and perhaps similar financial situations at Rice.</p>

<p>My new income details would be 110k income, 80k savings, family of 5. If anyone has a situation similar to that, it would be much appreciated if you could tell me how much you are paying for rice.
The bottom line for me is that if Rice ends up costing alot more than a public school, I would rather attend a public school and therefore would have to figure out a way to get out of the Early Decision contract, but before I do that, I need to make sure.</p>

<p>Contact the Office of Financial Aid. Here’s the website: [Financial</a> Aid at Rice University](<a href=“http://financialaid.rice.edu/]Financial”>http://financialaid.rice.edu/). I’m sure someone in the office would be happy to give you a better picture of what it would cost you to attend Rice. The financial aid calculator is just meant to give you a general idea and is not going to be the same as what Rice will actually give you.</p>
