Transfer to Rice!?

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I’ve been thinking about transferring out of Cornell for a while now. I just finished fall semester of my sophmore year and I’m thinking of transferring for my junior and senior years. I am an economics major at Cornell with a pretty good GPA (3.75ish) and I play tennis on the cornell varsity team. I’m thinking about either transferring to Yale, Duke, or Rice. I know I can get into Rice and Yale through tennis and grades combined, Duke is another story, so right now I think I’m leaning towards either Rice or Yale. Here are the reasons why I’d want to go to Rice:</p>

<li>I can play on the tennis team</li>
<li>I’m pretty sure I can get in</li>
<li>Warm Climate</li>
<li>I’m pretty sure that I want to live in the south someday, so I want to experience living there now (I’m from Long Island)</li>
</ol>

<p>What do you guys know about each of these schools economics programs (i.e. Where would it look best to graduate from with an economics degree?) Btw I am probably looking to get my MBA after college. </p>

<p>Also, not many people seem to know about Rice in the northeast. There was another topic about this, but I do not want my chances of being able to get a job hurt by transferring out of Cornell to go to Rice. Any advice/knowledge is appreciated. Thanks!</p>
