<p>Should I hold out for Rice or just go to UT? Thank you!</p>

<p>what do you plan to do for one year?</p>

<p>I haven’t exactly decided yet haha. I’m probably going to work at either Forever 21 or Ihop, and do some volunteer work/find an internship if I get bored.</p>

<p>Any ideas for what I should do the rest of the summer/this fall to better my application?</p>
