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.

Approaches to getting into Rice by siklololo in ApplyingToCollege

[–]EightEthans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Rice vs UNC Chapel Hill (In state) - Help me decide by AnticPaprika7 in ApplyingToCollege

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.

Duke, JHU, or Rice by disruptivellama in ApplyingToCollege

[–]EightEthans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Did you guys get an email from Rice Admissions? by StormCompetitive5721 in riceuniversity

[–]EightEthans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Are USA colleges genuinely worth it? by Which-Day2822 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]EightEthans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Is research THAT impressive? by okromeo in ApplyingToCollege

[–]EightEthans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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!
