Rice vs UT (McCombs) Undergraduate
So I was accepted into UT McCombs and Rice. Rice has recently created an undergraduate business major (that has a finance concentration). What school would be better for trying to get an investment banking job?
Rice 100%, and do econ instead of business.
You literally give no reason to back up Rice over UT. McCombs far surpasses Rice in IB placement. Never heard Rice considered a target while McCombs is. Obviously if you care about overall school ranking Rice beats UT but UT is talked about quite more than Rice in terms of IB placement.
Lmfao UT hardos never fail to crack me up.
1. Rice is quite quite clearly a better school overall.
2. Rice offers a far far better experience as an undergrad - pretty much undeniably.
3. Rice offers a much better per capita placement than UT. Maybe 15 kids try for IB every year at Rice and everybody gets an offer, generally from decent places.
4. Because there's such little competition from Rice undergrads, you don't have to be a hardo at all, and your networking emails will have a great response rate.
UT kinda sucks in general, it just does well because there's so few schools in Texas. The average student coming from UT is dumb as bricks - whereas the average Rice student is quite smart. Plus you're pretty much forced to take boring business majors/classes at UT whereas you can do econ/more interesting majors at Rice. It's really not a close decision.
absolutely false as an owl alum. ut beats us lights out on ib and consulting recruiting
its sad to see a state school beat the shit out of us on this but it is what it is.
their finance and bba curriculum just makes their candidates so much better. sigh its a shame. school rankings don't matter when you don't know the actual things happening.
that's why rice made the undergrad business cause literally rice grads were going nowhere
rice started out as an engineering institute and it still remains that way. heavily dominated by engineering and premed bs
Rice - 171 people with “investment banking” in linkedin title
UT - 714 with same parameters
Obviously, UT has a much larger enrollment (so not proportionate), but on the flip side, over 4x as many people in IB, so more opportunities to network & get a referral
Dartmouth - 65 people with IB in their linkedin title i.e don't choose a school based on a linkedin search
good point
This is a no-brainer, go to Rice. I say this as a McCombs kid.
Hook'em all the way
