<p>Well your opinion is meaningless without any described reasoning behind it.</p>

<p>Alright, guys, it's FINAL! I'M COMING TO RIIIIICEEEEE :) woooot!</p>
<p>Turning down Northwestern, Emory, WashU, UT-Austin (OOS and McCombs School, Plan II Honors), UMD-College Park (half tuition scholarship, honors)</p>
<p>Rejecting waitlist offers from UNC-Chapel Hill and Johns Hopkins, but staying on Duke's waitlist.</p>
<p>Any of you above posters, would you guys mind elaborating what was/were the particular dealbreaker(s) to make you decide to go to Rice? </p>
<p>What tipped you over to choose Rice would greatly help me, as there is a very small chance I will be able to attend Owl Days, as much as I want to.</p>
<p>If you could come visit Rice, you would be sold....</p>
<p>I am choosing Rice over Columbia, Duke, Northwestern, Olin College of Engineering, Cornell, and Johns Hopkins BME major. I am staying on the waitlist at Yale, but I am pretty freaking excited about Rice!!!!</p>
<p>I chose Rice over Wash U, USC with a Presidential scholarship and Science Honors program, RPI with the Rensselaer Medal and Merit award, and University of Maryland with President's scholarship, Honors program, and Gemstone.</p>
<p>I'm incredibly happy with my decision, and I'm actually extremely thankful I was waitlisted at Penn and Duke instead of the other way around, since Rice has always been one of my top choices!</p>
<p>Cornell, Emory, WashU, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, UT..</p>
<p>wustl, duke, and purdue</p>
<p>middlebury</p>
<p>Northwestern, University of Rochester, SUNY Binghamton and Case Western</p>
<p>I'm class of 2011. I chose Rice over Williams, Wheaton (IL), University of Kentucky (full ride + $$$), and Johns Hopkins (accepted off the waiting list).</p>
<p>I'm extremely satisfied with my decision. My freshman year was the best year of my life.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist University($$), University of Texas-Austin (Engineering Honors), Purdue University</p>
<p>Turned down: Duke, Emory ($), Oxford College of Emory ($$), Northwestern, Pomona, Case Western ($$), Ohio State ($), Miami University (close to full tuition scholarship), and University of Cincinnati (close to full ride scholarship).</p>
<p>Decision came down to Rice, Duke, and Emory.</p>
<p>Deciding Factors: scholarship at Rice, Century Scholars Program, focus on undergraduate education, small classes, small size/opportunities to shine, location, weather, and friendly/collaborative student body.</p>
<p>I’m VERY EXCITED for Rice! Go Owls!</p>
