Hello everyone,
I'm a freshman at Rice with a strong interest in investment banking. Is there a heavy alumni presence in Houston/NYC and is Rice considered a "target" school? I'm very curious about the perception of Rice grads in banking.
Also, I notice that tons of banks recruit here in the fall - was just curious about how many are actually given offers.
Thx.

Rice and Texas are the two Houston targets. Texas will have more representation on an absolute basis, but it's pretty equal per capita.
Everyone loves rice - especially the 4.5 billion people who live in Asia and eat it every day!
Rice is a staple in investment banking industry
Staples are a staple in IB offices
There is a much greater SMU/UT presence in Houston than Rice. I'd transfer to UT (only if you get into McCombs) if you still can. Nonetheless, there are still Rice kids in Houston but I've seen almost none on the street.
Downvoted for giving actual information - bye.
I know this isn't IB, and you probably already know this, but Rice seems to be a good school for consulting. I have multiple friends who went to Rice and are now working in some of the top consulting firms. Something to think about! If you're set on investment banking you could try to email some Rice alumni that are now in banking and ask them about their networking/recruiting experience.
