So if you are an employer reviewing the resumes of 3 candidates that are identical in qualification with the exception of their respective universities you take the La Tech grad and the UT Arlington grad before the SMU grad ?? I don’t think so…
Private schools such as Rice give unbelievable amounts of financial aid in many different formats. Takes 50K+ per year schools lower than state supported schools in many instances if you have the grades/test scores to be admitted. Unless you are an athlete of course. Then the admitting requirements are different to get the athletic aid.
Low i get that there are private schools that give tuition waivers for low income families, just didn’t realize that rice was one of them. Harvard/Princeton, for instance, have such a large endowment that anyone who gets accepted and immediate family makes less than 150k get a tuition remission. And they do NOT offer athletic scholarships.
Rice must be in the same ballpark, otherwise couldn’t make the list.
From what my Rice graduate friends tell me, the school is loaded with money. That combined with having such a small class size means they’re pretty generous with aid from what I hear.
