Rice and business?

The only Ivy League school that officially has an undergrad business school is Penn, but every Ivy League school has consistently put alums on Wall Street and top business schools. Northwestern, Duke, Georgetown and others are particularly well-represented on Wall Street and top b-schools as well, but none of them have undergrad business schools. Neither do top LAC’s like Williams and Amherst.

Do you catch my drift?

Seriously. You DON’T need to go to an undergrad business school.

Even some schools with undergrad business schools don’t place that well on Wall Street, because of regional recognition, or other factors.

My entire post is assuming you want to go to Wall Street/a top business school…

Generally speaking - get a high GPA, get a high GMAT score, and network. That’s it, really. There’s no secret.

I know you have good intentions, but people, please THINK about this a little more. “Rice doesn’t offer business” - well, only 4 schools out of the top 20 schools in the country have an undergrad business school. Do you really think the other 16 schools have had none of their students go off into business/business school?
