Got in for grad school, but it was going to cost $100K+, even with a huge scholarship. Went elsewhere. Still a part of me wishes that I had the chance to go to Rice. Everything about it seemed great, except that it would mean uprooting entirely from Austin and take up a huge chunk of money.
I believe I made the better decision considering the field I wanted to go into, but damn if a part of me doesn't still think about it. Seems like it would have been a real feather in my cap given the status of Rice. But just couldn't pass up a (nearly) free ride elsewhere.
