<p>Well, today my father and I went to the EEE conference in Houston, Texas. There were 5 of the ivy leagues (Chicago, Cornell, Rice, Columbia, and Brown).
They explained the college process to us and answered alot of "questions."</p>
<p>i recommend you signing up :]</p>
<p>Exploring</a> Educational Excellence-Information Sessions</p>
<p>Rice and Chicago aren’t ivy although they are amazing schools</p>
<p>Haha, Rice and Chicago def aren’t technically “Ivy League” but they might as well be ;)</p>
<p>That’s interesting though, Harvard/Princeton/Penn/Georgetown/Duke have a similar conference thing and mailed me invitations a couple times to attend their sessions last fall. </p>
<p>I didn’t go (shrug), and I did just fine in my college admission/application process, but I guess if you have time and think it’ll be helpful for you, then by all means sign up!</p>
<p>oh well lol 
Rice is #2 in the south.</p>
<p>thats pretty awesome.</p>
<h1>2? Behind whom?</h1>
<p>true that nyskins1</p>
<p>I would say that Rice is number one in the hood, G.</p>
<p>Rice > Duke</p>
<p>lol. i talked to the senior admission person face to face for a good 15 minutes before the convention. </p>
<p>she really cleared many things up for me. </p>
<p>but i still have a question.
how good are the biology programs at Rice? how do tey compare to Duke, Brown, etc.</p>
