<p>you got in because you sat/gpa is really good. congrads, man! i hope to see you there next yr!</p>
<p>from, fl!</p>
<p>also, do you have to go rice if you get accepted interim? i mean, wedaft if you arent gonna go, tell them soon so someone else gets in</p>
<p>No, it's not binding, and I'm really agonizing about deciding between Rice and Plan II at U.T. Austin. I would really prefer U.T. (I think), and it's a hell of a lot cheaper, but the prestige of getting a degree from Rice and how that will help me later is nagging me.</p>
