What motivated you to apply to Rice University? Please be specific and limit your response to 200 words.But I have 237. How can I shorten or improve it?

What first attracted me to Rice University was its location. Rice is close to my home and to the Texas Medical Center. This will not only allow me to keep in touch with my family in Houston, but also provide me with opportunities for analytical research(in addition to those offered by Rice itself)to add to my college experience.

Moreover, the balanced lifestyle enjoyed by Rice's student body adds to my view of Rice as the perfect fit for me. During high school, I took numerous night and weekend classes along with being a full-time student. Therefore, I was unable to pay much attention to my social life. Thus, as an immigrant who had spent only a year in an American high school, this rendered me unable to 'blend' into my social surroundings. But at Rice, I believe, I will be provided with rigorous educational challenges as well opportunities to further my life experiences without compromising the quality of education.

Above all, what I value the most is the Honor Code and the 5:1 student to faculty ratio (which is small as compared to that of my high school's 40:1 ratio). Both of these foster unparalleled trust, confidence, and accessibility between the students and the professors.

The distinct undergraduate research opportunities, balanced lifestyle, and the acclaimed learning environment at Rice will help me develop not only into a successful student but also a productive member of the society.
