Hey guys. Senior in high school debating on these three schools. Let me know what you guys think would be the best option for IB.

For context: washu olin, Vanderbilt economics, rice business.

Washu is probably best for work-life balance. Vanderbilt doesn’t have protected weekends, but exits are elite. Rice has particularly strong firm culture. Really can’t go wrong, just depends on what you’re looking for.

Yeah, I don't really know many normal people that go to Rice (excluding athletes).  Don't know how it places.

 

Any city —> Vandy

Purely Houston —> Rice

Purely Chicago —> WashU

I would go with Vandy for great looks at any city, great student life, and amazing city. At the end of the day choose the school that you like the most because if you are a stand out student and are willing to grind you will get looks at any bank from these schools.
