Rice vs. UT Plan II

<p>I have been accepted to both Rice and the UT Plan II Honors program. I want to major in Biology or some other related major, and these are the two main schools I'm looking at. The problem is that Rice is costing me about $30,000 per year (with scholarship) while UT is about $20,000 per year. Is there a difference in the type of education I would receive at either school? After undergrad, I might go on to Medical school. Is one school significantly better than the other in terms of medical school acceptances?</p>

<p>Rice has something like a 93% acceptance rate. With tons of opportunities for research as an undergrad and the world's largest medical center next door, Rice is a much better option.</p>

<p>Should go Rice, no question on this if you are making the decisions only between two schools.</p>
