Help with Houston IBD MBA Associate Schools

Hello all,

I'll be applying to Darden (UVA), Johnson (Cornell), McCombs (UT Austin), and Jones (Rice) this Fall. My post-MBA goal is Houston IBD. I graduated from UT Austin a few years ago with a degree in electrical engineering and worked at a F100 in the West Coast not related to oil/gas (not really interested in Tech IB).

I know McCombs and Jones have extremely strong networks in Houston for IBD and punch above their "rank" in this area. However, I also know Darden and Johnson place relatively well in Houston, albeit a much fewer amount of people since most choose to go to NY. If I were fortunate enough to be accepted at all 4 schools, what advice do you have on which school to attend? I'm originally from TX.

Thank you.
