Upcoming Duke Engineering & Rice Admissions Activities

If you're interested in Duke's Pratt School of Engineering or Rice University there are a couple of upcoming admissions activities you should be aware of.

The Pratt School at Duke is hosting "In Focus" on Saturday October 4, from 8:15am-4:00pm. Click on the link above for a full agenda. Unfortunately this is happening on the same day as the SAT (who planned that?!), which Greg is taking, so we won't be flying up to Durham to attend.

Rice is hosting "Discover Rice", a general admissions program aimed at interested students from outside the Houston area. It happens the next day, Sunday October 5, from 1pm - 6pm in Houston. We may take this trip. Greg's interested in Rice and it seems like a good fit. His main concern is that it's located in Houston. So since he's never been there a good way to see if it's worth applying to (and possibly attending) Rice is to experience the campus and the city first hand. If we're going to do a campus visit before applications are due this seems like a good opportunity. Of course between the day trip to Houston and the SAT, it will be one busy weekend.
