random question: how many years of a foreign language have you all taken? because I have the option of either taking 3 years of a foreign language and 4 AP’s for my senior year (I’ve already taken 4) or 4 years of a foreign language and 3 AP’s for my senior year…
Go ask this in those results or chance threads.
@cgfox52 took 2 years of spanish (although I went up to level 3 because I took level 1 in 8th grade). And 8APs in total
@bernie12 Thank you for all your info! I’m pretty sure on my choice now and am just waiting for the campus visit to tie the knot.
You might have already made a decision.
If not, you might want to know that Rice often requires students to spend at least one year living off campus and thus outside of the residential college system. Students are picked depending on the extent to which their particular choice of undergraduate residential college is short of housing and, if picked, they have to live off campus for a year.
Because you seem to be enamored of the college system, you might want to take this into consideration. For obvious reasons, Rice doesn’t advertise this fact.
Based on friends’ experiences at Cal, I think it’s a great place for grad (not tippy top for law, though) but kind of diffuse and unsupportive for undergrad. All my friends who went to UVA attended as Echols scholars and I’m not sure how that affected their experience other than being able to leapfrog over prerequisites and take 300 or 400 level courses first year. Sounds like the schools that gave you the most money will offer the best experiences and probably the best outcome for graduate admission (provided your achievements and LSAT scores are in the range T14 schools want), so lucky you!
@Philery Hi, what school did you end up picking and why?
@ai4525 : Pretty sure they went to Rice
