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

This doesn’t seem accurate. IB spots are very competitive, and it’s not only Rice students who want those jobs in Houston, or Dallas, or anywhere else.

Not to put UVA down, I love the feel, but at Rice I would own the South

You might readjust your attitude (said gently with kindness.)

At Rice and UVA and many other schools you will find very bright, highly capable classmates. Some will have worked in business like you have. Others will major in English, Math, or Neuroscience and go into IB jobs…because, well, some banks really like the non-business majors in these roles. So, go to college with the mindset that you have a lot to learn. You don’t ‘own’ the south or a given school’s opportunities, you will have to work hard for every opportunity no matter the school you choose.

Continued good luck making your decision today.
