I can' agree with you more. Rice is definitely a top top top college in the USA.

仲有間叫Rockefeller University. 它醫科好好。聽的學生講，他們的醫學Nobel price仲多過普林斯頓物理系。有時間大家證實下。要知道愛恩斯坦就敎普大，物理系超強。

美國的醫科系讀完大學先報, 最主要睇interview, MCAT, GPA等。。。。undergrad讀邊無乜大關係。

Rice is a good school, but I wouldn't say that it is comparable to Harvard/Stanford....It is comparable to Cornell, Columbia, etc. (I am from Houston, so I am extremely familiar with the school....I got in many years ago on full scholarship, but chose not to attend).

這間學校當然不能跟哈佛/史丹福比, 不過RICE 在全國排名18已經很好啦, 我兩個姪女在HOUSTON讀書, 如果佢二 ...

I think it depends...some programs at UT Austin may be better than Rice actually.  Rice is not that difficult to get in if you are studying high school in Houston.  Both my uncle and my sister in law graduated from Rice.

A best friend of mine, who is a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, has been an Admission reader for one of the lvy league  school. He said many many students are with sound background with perfect scores, but they just can't take them as competition is super keen. He said he dont know how he can get in at his day.
Here is an interesting piece to share. By someone

More and more difficult to get admitted to good schools seem to be the trend.  With more and more Chinese students applying, can't see how this won't get worse for the foreseeable future.

Two of my nieces want to become physicians, so I want them to apply for the Rice/Baylor Medical Sch ...

My brother went to the Baylor College of Medicine MD/PHD program.  Personally, I do not like med school early admissions program as I find it very limiting.  Many people change their majors during colleges.  Why limit yourself?  If you get into a good school, maintain your GPA and study for your MCAT, you can get into good med school.  My ex- went to the USC med school early admission program.  I entered college as pre-med but left with a completely different degree.  Academically I know i can do fine for med school, but I don't think i can deal with the stress of being a MD.  I also didn't like the idea that I wouldn't graduate from med school until I am 26, and still having to enter into residency.

Rice U. is similar to all other universities / colleges...Apply in the fall with your standard tests and grades...i think has an interview as well.  nothing too difficult or out of ordinary.

Hosuton Premed Academy only take admissions in 9th grade i think.  I don't think you can enter as a hgih school senior.
