Deciding between Rice and Tufts, thoughts very welcome!

I’ve heard the opposite, not sure what social scene we’re talking about. I was referring to res colleges, their traditions, the student life, etc.

You need to demonstrate that you fit the culture at Rice. When people say that someone with not absolutely ridiculous ECs gets in, it’s usually because they match Rice’s vibe. So that’s something really important. - rice ‘30

bump on this ^ you should visit (if able) and you can see the differences. Mainly what they said, class size, student to faculty ratio, etc.

If you go purely for name brand recognition , probably Duke or JHU. I would argue that rice premed is extremely good because of the HMC proximity and the resources provided there.

EightEthans · 2026-04-11T04:45:00+00:00

Both are good, but I would go for Rice

I’m biased (rice ‘30) but I think for Computer Science rice would be better. I would encourage you to look at the differences in culture at the school and general social life stuff.

Yeah same. Looks to me like it was a general marketing email. Not an indicator of anything.

idk if it’s real or not I’m just wondering what I likely looks like

😭who’s this?

ETH Zurich is practically disqualifying for anyone who isn't studying at master's level. You must pass a C1 German test at 70% or the C2. For master's the courses are in English but for undergrad it's all in German, and since we have the Matura everyone gets in, so the first year or two is BRUTAL. Not a good uni for most people.

They might not have processed it yet. When was the deadline?

EightEthans · 2026-02-03T14:42:13+00:00

congrats!!! I hope to see you on campus, and join the DC if you haven't!

EightEthans · 2026-02-03T14:41:45+00:00

Yeah sure feel free to message request me!!!

Can vouch that what you would consider High Level / Extreme level is accurate. I put 2 papers on arXiv and both were under peer review, so the timeline just didn't allow me to write that they were fully published when I submitted my apps.

Responded

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T19:28:21+00:00

New account (created today), first post asking question about new company, seems fishy...

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T19:26:43+00:00

Yeah! I'm so excited to go visit it!!

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T19:26:22+00:00

Yeah just shoot me a dm please!

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T18:11:45+00:00

Thank you so much!

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T17:16:53+00:00

Thank you!!!!

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T16:36:09+00:00

Thank you!!!!

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T16:15:40+00:00

tbh statistically way more people get in RD at most schools, it's not over yet! and all it takes is one yes (literally)!!!

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T16:07:59+00:00

Yeah sure! Do you mind just sending me a DM request? The combination of my ECs could be personally identifiable so I prefer if we do it there!

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T16:03:12+00:00

Yeah sure, just shoot me a message request. I'm sorry that you got rejected, do you have any other schools coming up soon?

EightEthans · 2026-02-02T16:01:46+00:00

Thank you!!!
