<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Rice supplement asks for where else you apply...
how do u guys respond to it?
say I'm applying to MIT, stanford,Caltech, should I write that down? or just make up some safety schools and put it down?</p>
<p>I put down a mixture of safety,match, and reach schools. Rice isn't the type of school that will reject you just because you are applying to other schools, regardless of how prestigious those schools are.</p>
<p>I didn't apply there, but my friend only put down his safeties/matches since Rice was one of his major reaches.
he put down UCs.
he applied to Cornell and northwestern as well, but didn't writ ethat down</p>
<p>When I was asked those things, I always wrote down everything. And I have this suspicion that Rice gave me merit aid because they wanted me to go there instead of Northwestern and CMU. And I did... btw, I applied to MIT and Princeton too, and I wrote those down.</p>
<p>Same here,koker. Rice gave me merit aid,too, and I included schools that were competing with Rice for the same students..Northwestern, WashU, and etc.</p>
<p>so it is ok to write down MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Princeton, Harvard, and like all those top schools?
(of course, including some safety ones)</p>
<p>probably, it's not gonna be a deciding factor, so why shoud you lie? All I can say is I wrote Princeton and MIT last year and I got in</p>
<p>My son was concerned about the same thing last year. In the end, he wrote all of the schools he applied to -- including schools like Stanford, MIT, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, etc. He was not only accepted, he ended up with merit aid. So, it doesn't seems you shouldn't be afraid to list the reach schools.</p>
<p>Same with my D, she wrote down all schools including MIT.</p>
