Washu > rice/vandy. There’s a noticeable washu presence in banking
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.
If you want to do Houston IB, hands down easy decision to go to Rice. Otherwise, I would honestly not make a decision based on prestige because I feel like all the kids who are strong from these schools get the gigs they’re looking for. I’d personally take Vanderbilt, but I’m not familiar with WashU.
If I’m looking for LA or NYC, how does rice stack up against vandy?
Y u didn't apply to Duke? It’s literally the “Harvard of the south” and a strong target
.
The stats required for Vandy / Rice / Washu is literally the same as Duke's admissions stats. Anyways, would go with Vanderbilt. If you get into those other schools mentioned, def take Columbia
How would you rate washu vs rice?
Washu imo. The business school there is solid and I’ve personally met more washu folks vs rice folks at my bb and other banks on the street as well
Vandy for the best overall experience while maintaining a solid well-respected brand name. Rice is weird.
.
Yeah, I don't really know many normal people that go to Rice (excluding athletes). Don't know how it places.
Cant go wrong with Vandy or Rice here.
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.
Appreciate this. Thank you.
Hey, I’m an econ major at Vandy. Feel free to message me if you have any VU-specific questions that I can help with.
Hi! Is this offer still open? Would love to learn more about VU as I'm considering ED2ing there.
VU all day. Great people and a fun 4 years with amazing placements at the end of it.
