I've only vaguely heard of Rice and it definitely wouldn't do anything for me being listed on a resume if I was hiring. Georgia Tech, I'm assuming is a state school. Every state has state schools. This one doesn't jump out at me either. But I'm not from the south. It may be a regional issue.KlangFool wrote: ↑Sat Apr 01, 2023 2:04 pmRice and Georgia Tech are not decent college.

I don’t have much knowledge about colleges , but by decent I meant colleges like Rice, northwestern, UC , UW, Georgia tech etc
My kid is self motivated in academics but not in music and sports
But interested in other extracurriculars like debate, theater , has expressed interest in other things like student council etc
I will not put extra pressure to try for elite colleges but we are also not parents who would let them not study/work hard and get into the worst colleges .
I understand it’s a delicate balance , but the place where we live is not the best in terms of education. I am even disappointed in how much they teach in school . So just trying
to figure out the path .

FYI. Rice University is one of the richest private university. And, it is very generous in financial aid. The endowment is 7.8 billions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_University
"Its emphasis on undergraduate education is demonstrated by its 6:1 student-faculty ratio"
It is a small university with 8K students (undergraduate and graduate).
https://financialaid.rice.edu/
It is very rich and generous with financial aid (grants).
It is one of those hidden gems among higher education that most people does not know about.
