<p>Rice has met our full financial need for the last 6 years (2 different kids) and always at the amount of our FAFSA EFC (even though they are a profile school). We have been surprised at how affordable that makes them - and we have a healthy income. Xfort - you might be eligible for needbased aid at Rice, even if not at Emory. I would have my guidance counselor call and let Rice know that you will attend if taken off the waitlist (that is, if your EFC seems reasonable and your parents are okay with that.) And if not, how much will they contribute towards UCLA? And can you defer UCLA a year and take a gap year? Lots of questions…</p>
