First, I want to thank everybody on this site for their input. When I first joined WSO I was a frustrated man working in the retail arm of a BB. I have worked extremely hard at this BB as they promised me an IBD position in January. Well January came and went and so did their promise. So, I am finding new direction through this site and I know longer feel as trapped and/or lost. I am currently looking at obtaining my MBA. My wife is an MD/PHD so I am kind of stuck in my home town of Houston. Also, I wanted to go PT so I could afford to live; however, it has become clear a FT MBA has a higher ROI. I had a talk with an MD at GS and he stated “A FT MBA shows your dedication to becoming a business professional”. So it seems to me I need to find a firm that not only supports my goals but also sponsors them. I have looked through WSO for a list of such firms and have found 5 total firms none of which are hiring (at the moment). Is there a more conclusive list of firms that sponsor FT MBA’s? My current firm will pay the huge amount of $ 2500 dollars a semester. Also, the only university that can meet my needs is Rice. I am hoping there are some alumni that can share some experiences at Rice and the alumni network’s capability.
Once again I apologize for any errors. I have to write this under the radar and between appts.
If you have to stay in Houston anyway then you aren't going to do better than Rice.

Your wife is a MD/PHD? Dude, quit work and go to school! haha, just kidding.
Rice is a wonderful school. I've seen a few people on linkedin who have secured IBD jobs while attending Rice PT. Nothing is impossible.
I wish I could but she is in her first years so it is more MD/PHD= Debt than MD/PHD=$$$. That is why I wanted to get my MBA PT. The FT option was something I wrote off because I did not see a big difference other then time. Thanks to WSO for making see FT makes difference. Also, it would be fun since I worked 2 jobs during undergrad I never felt like I had a "college exp". Still, Rice is not cheap so I would need help from a sponser.
You're not going to immediately get sponsored by a firm for a full time MBA nor will a sponsoring firm let you go after or let you move into IBD after school. If you want it you gotta sack up and pay
Yeah I do see this as a long term plan. So, I have been looking for a firm that could offer me a career from entry level analyst to MD. Still, if I have to finance it myself then dag nabbit I will.
Commute to UT Austin. Stack classes up on two or three days a week. In-state tuition. Top 20.
