What motiveted you to apply to Rice.

While I was in a chemistry class learning about the different allotropes of carbon, I found a diagram of a buckministerence- a spherodial fullerene (large molecule of carbon atom). "Discovered by Rick Smalley and Bob Curl Rice University" was written below the diagram. This was the first time I was aware of Rice University.

The name seemed unusual so I decided to learn more about it. I learned about the research opportunities for undergraduates, the study abroad program, the location in Huston-USA, the internationally diverse student body a whole lot more.

I was always torn between medicine and engineering as a course of study. When I finally chose to major in engineering, Rice appealed to me more. I found out it was the 2nd smallest research university. Furthermore, it was in close proximity to the Texas medical centre where I could intern and explore options in medicine.

Rice presents me with the opportunity of a rigorous course of study, one that will stimulate my way of thinking and will push me past limits. I like to participate in insightful classroom discussions. The low student faculty ratio and close contact with professors at Rice give me the chance to.

Picturing myself attending a school with top-notch architecture, rigorous curriculum and a buoyant campus motivated me the most.

This is an incomplete sentence; motivated you to what? Also, you should write "student-to-faculty" or simply "student to faculty."

Picturing myself attending a school with top-notch architecture, rigorous curriculum and a buoyant campus motivated me the most.

Personally I wouldn't make the physical appearance of the university my strongest motivation; the research programs and engineering opportunites you mentioned earlier are a much stronger point.

Thanks.
Now I think about it physical appearance is a dumb point to make.
Do you think it is a good essay though?
