<p>Living off campus can seriously reduce the r&b expense as well. All in all, that is a great deal</p>
<p>Hi. my son received a half tuition ($17,500)/yr from Rice. He also received a full ride plus $3000 for living expenses from University of Minnesota. He is planning on majoring in philosophy and/or English. He is also thinking of pyschology. He is currently planning on law school and a doctorate after undergrad. He went to owl days and really enjoyed it. Does anyone have any advice on where he should go?</p>
<p>Congrats to your family! We would definitely send our son to Rice with a full tuition scholarship. Our sons at Yale med and Law have classmates from Rice. They speak very highly of there time at Rice.</p>
<p>If you can afford Rice, it’s a terrific opportunity. My kids had wonderful experiences there. Both had free-ride (room, board and tuition) offers from good public universities, which they turned down for Rice. We had needbased financial aid for one, and merit plus need for the other from Rice, and found it about equivalent for us to paying full-fare at a public university. We do not regret paying for Rice for one minute - both were afforded so many opportunities and both reveled in the whole residential-college experience. YMMV. :)</p>
Please can you tell me how you got the engineering scholarship? I really want to get one and become an architect and I’m doing well in school. So do they notice you or you apply? If so what are the requirements? I’m in 10th grade btw
All Rice admits are considered for merit based scholarships. You don’t do anything special.
@ripemango Rice is about 40k per year but yeah that’s still lower than that. Honestly though, even if it were only covering 130 of 160, that would put tuition at 7.5k per year. That’s very reasonable, especially for a family that’s not eligible for need-based aid (though there can definitely be other factors that change the situation).
@mom1967 Your daughter will have no problem maintaining a 3.0. Most pre-meds are worried (not necessarily reasonably, but I’m not a pre-med so I won’t pretend to be an expert) about their GPAs dropping below 3.9 or 3.8.
Also just as a side note, she shouldn’t be too upset about the Baylor thing. It’s a wonderful opportunity and a huge honor, but she’s gonna grow a lot as a person in the next 4 years and she’ll do just fine anyway. Admitting high schoolers to medical school can sometimes be misguided, even if those students are mature and hard working and smart and will do great when they get there.
Congratulations!
