<p>Is it possible to graduate in 3 years for someone with A level credit in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology (and maybe economics)? Thanks a lot.. Any advice is appreciated..</p>
<p>With basically any social science or humanities major, it's very easy to graduate in 3 years, particularly if you come in with some credit. Physical sciences it's also doable. With engineering, I've known people to do it, but it requires some pretty tough course loads. With architecture, it's not an option - you're going to be here for 6 years.
I'm not sure how "A level credit" transfers. You're required to have 120 hours in order to graduate from Rice, which works out to 20 hours a semester for 6 semesters, minus any transfer credits you bring in, so I wouldn't attempt it unless you come in with some credit. </p>
<p>So now that I've told you that it's possible to graduate in 3 years, I'd recommend against it. I know that there might be financial reasons for doing so, but college is fun - take some time and enjoy it.</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice. I would really love to enjoy rice or any other college.. But sometimes you just cant.. </p>
<p>How about double majoring in Economics and one of Mechanical Engineering or Physics or Applied Math in four years? Doable?</p>
<p>Does anyone know the admission rate for international students?</p>
<p>The only people who tend to graduate in three years are those who are going directly to law school after Rice. Most other types of grad schools and jobs want you to have four years of college under your belt.</p>
<p>For what it's worth, I know a Math major who graduated in 2.5 years. I don't know how it worked out for him in terms of jobs or grad school, though. </p>
<p>Math like a lot in the humanities is a 10-course major. So if you come in set on one of those majors, you can complete it in 3 years easily. Those majors were actually designed to be completed in 2 years (junior and senior) anyway.</p>
<p>cool.. (if i were to be accepted)</p>
