<p>For those of you who received merit scholarships at Rice - What were your departments, your stats (generally), and what other aspects of your application seemed to be most relevant?</p>

<p>I ask as the father of a HS junior who may be considering Rice next year (for CS/Math).</p>

12

<p>My stats are:
ACT: 33
GPA: 3.98 UW/ 4.7 W
Applied for cognitive science.</p>

<p>and I am hispanic.</p>

<p>Thanks. How good is Rice generally with merit scholarships? Is it rare, or reasonably common?</p>

14

<p>It is not uncommon to get one although they are highly competitive. If you have excellent stats and get in, there is a decent chance you will get some merit aid.</p>

15

<p>My D has stats similar to sandrccr, valedictorian, same major, URM, national awards, however her brother attends Rice. No merit offer. I would have loved to have two kids at Rice but it seems having a brother was a disincentive for Rice to offer her merit money.
Congratulations to all of you who received scholarships! They really help! D is looking at all her options including Ivy and UT Health Science Honors.</p>

<p>Are there particular colleges/depts within Rice that are more apt to give merit aid? I’ve heard about an “engineering scholarship”, for example. Are there similar concepts for science, or other areas?</p>
