UH'S Name Recognition

DickFuld MokeAnalyst:

By mentioning UT-H and Rice I'm assuming you're referring to the University of Houston?

Presumably so. But, it's still a good lesson for people here. People who work in our industry love using lingo and acronyms. Some are universal, some are firm specific. One way or the other, once you get out of your bubble, it's a terrible idea to use acronyms. Assuming OP lives in Houston, UH probably means University of Houston there. But when you get out of the Houston bubble, it could just as easily be the University of Hawaii or the University of Humping. Don't make your audience guess.

To the OP, to answer your question: I worked on Wall Street for a very long time and can not remember one instance of a University of Houston grad among the people I met, if that helps answer your question.

To be fair, you went to Colorado-Boulder, so nothing is impossible.
