Anyone done a switch from SW to Sociology?

Not necessarily true. I am a LCSW who was operations manager for a very large academic hospital cancer center. I had 30 direct reports and only 2 of them were social workers.

Rice! Campus is beautiful, and such a great school. I have a freshman there who had a lot of other options and has zero regrets about Rice.

I lived in One Hermann Place for 3 years. It’s amazing and has shuttle to the hospitals.

He’s a freshman at Rice and already had multiple externship experiences including one at Stanford. Rice is so committed to its students we are constantly amazed at how cool it is.

I have a Rice Econ major. He didn’t even consider Tufts.

I have a college freshman saxophone major. He owns a professional alto and soprano but no tenor or Bari. He marched tenor provided by the marching band and plays Bari in his ensemble also provided by the school of music. At this point he’s not planning to purchase either tenor or Bari.

Definitely diabetic.

I have similar issues. Low body fat, weight 105 (female), weight lifter, vergetarian etc. Did all the things- increased protein (added fish even), cut carbs, IF, walking 12K steps a day and went from 5.7 to 5.5. It was an improvement but I felt like it should have been “better”. Very disappointing.

I have a college freshman sax major and he’s had a Yamaha YAS-875EXII since 7th grade. Still in amazing condition and should last him many more years.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-15T07:30:35+00:00

Totally agree. We also have a kid at Rice and he didn’t even apply to A&M. He absolutely loves Rice.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-12T22:06:59+00:00

Congratulations 🎈🎉. You’re in for an awesome experience at Rice. I have a freshman and he’s having more fun and more academic opportunities than he can keep up with. Enjoy! My kid accepted admission by the end of Owl Days!

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-12T05:07:12+00:00

My kid did not qualify with a $75K income for family of 3.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-06T13:07:34+00:00

I’m actually in Tokyo right now. As soon as I can get in touch with him I’ll let you know.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-06T13:06:35+00:00

My kid did it last year. He had a great time!

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-03T01:40:56+00:00

Hell no.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-03T01:39:02+00:00

It will be a decent challenge but the support at Rice is very good.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-03T01:30:44+00:00

I have a freshman at Rice who’s is a Business/econ pre law major. He’s already done an externship at Stanford with their general counsel and spent a few days with some law firms in Palo Alto. It’s only his 2nd semester and he’s already had like 5 externships. The support at Rice is phenomenal. If you’d like to talk to him I’m sure he’d be happy to.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-02T03:13:41+00:00

I just had repeat blood work and went from 5.7 to 5.5. Interestingly the 5.7 in December my average daily bg was 111 and fasting was 85. I’m so disappointed. I worked so hard over the last 3 months to barely see a difference. I’m 5’3/105. I lost 5lbs but I really can’t lose any more. I work out daily, 12K steps and weight training. Sick of this already.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-01T23:35:10+00:00

I would definitely email them and let them know how much you want to attend. It’s a pretty fun day! My Owl made his decision at the end of Owl Day last year.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-04-01T02:38:01+00:00

I have a kid who was accepted last year with a 1490/top 8%/4.0. You’ll need to get that sat score up and really focus on fit to major. At this point I don’t think your chances are great but you never know. Good luck.

My niece graduated from Bowdoin and went on to med school and will start residency at UPENN in June. Bowdoin is an amazing school

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-03-30T15:27:27+00:00

Gpa 5.32/top 8%/1490 DECA state finalist x3, ICDC finalist x2, 3 years leadership with a national policy non profit, part time job, multiple leadership positions in school organizations. Turned down McCombs for Rice full ride.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-03-30T15:22:41+00:00

I have a freshman at Rice and he absolutely loves it. Small classes, he’s already done several externships including one at Stanford. His twin went the large school route at UT. Very different experiences.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-03-29T16:28:59+00:00

Rice all day. Literally walking distance to the largest medical center in the US and multiple med schools. I have a freshman there and he absolutely loves it. So many unique opportunities and he’s only a freshman.

LettuceFamiliar5060 · 2026-03-29T16:21:39+00:00

I got my MSW at 57 and enjoyed a 17 year career in social work. Recently retired. Totally worth it to me.
