You went from this…

Doing my due diligence and talking around, it looks like about 2 to 3 percent of the last class at Rice was placed into investment banking.

I’ve noticed most of their placements in investment banking sectors outside of oil and gas are diversity candidates.

To this…

Rice is guaranteed for Houston IB after I’ve talked around with Rice students.

at Rice I would own the South

Given you are an aspiring I banker, I will extend the courtesy of talking to you like a junior banker. Settle down killer and let’s not get crazy😀. You will have to earn it.

You will need to accomplish a lot and have a certain degree of luck before anything is even close to “guaranteed”.

Either school can get you to where you seem to want to go but please don’t allow yourself to get ahead of yourself. You are clearly very smart and either option will provide a strong platform for eventual success.

Sincerely wishing you all the best! FYI my bank is joining the growing ranks of IBs with Houston operations that will be direct recruiting at Rice.
