The only problem is I've been hearing conflicting things on whether or not that would be possible. The Rice website says that you apply to one school of study, while it is non-binding, they claim that if you aren't allowed into that program, you will not be considered for any other programs - thus denied from Rice.
However, I've heard from a few students that isn't "necessarily true." Even if you don't get into that one school, they throw you back into a pool of mass applicants considered for general admission.
I have no way of being sure of either of these situations.
All I know is if I get acceptance into Rice contingent that I study obscure languages, theology, or take the classes no one else wants to take so the tenured professors don't twiddle their thumbs all day... I will have my deposit down the next day.
Architecture seems really interesting and something I would be good at but I just don't prioritize it over getting a great education at Rice. While it seems perfect because it blends all of my interests, the only tragedy of not getting into architecture would be that I might have to pick one interest to pursue and even then, a liberal arts education would provide everything I could possibly want outside of my major.
So yes, provided I get an acceptance letter, at least to the school, I will absolutely go there.
