Hey, let me know if you get into Rice bud. I applied there last year and got a partial scholarship to go....but even with that, it was too expensive, so I settled for Texas State. I'm working on trying to transfer there next year though. And I know people going to some of the other schools you applied to: my brother signed to A&M for a full-ride track scholarship earlier this month, and a friend of mine signed to Colorado School of Mines for football on the same day.
It'll just be interesting to see where you end up going.
