Non-traditional student wants to transfer to Rice

Transfer Students
1

<p>I was wondering if anyone had any input about students who want to transfer to Rice. Specifically non-traditional students who have been in the workforce for a few years. I'm actually asking on behalf of my hubby.</p>

<p>Past academic history was pretty stellar. Multiple APs, very high SAT scores and was actually a National Merit Scholar. He spent his freshman year at USC, but than dropped out due to personal reasons and never really looked back. Well, this year he recently enrolled in some classes at a local community college and is hoping to transfer to a 4 year university for a BA in Music History. </p>

<p>I read somewhere on the Rice website that they don't accept credits from community college like regular credits...? Does anyone have any experience with this from Rice or even another school?</p>

<p>I appreciate any and all feed back. This whole school thing is a bit daunting after so many years away from it. </p>

<p>Thanks,
StarMaiden</p>

<p>I’m in the transfer process as well and after much time and research I’ve found my best bet was to directly speak to a transfer admissions counselor. All schools are different and there will be one out there that is the best fit for your husband, whether It’s Rice or not. But it is good to find one that appreciates the non traditional student. </p>
