<p>Do Rice undergrads receive any advantage applying to Rice Grad school? How competitive is admissions to Rice Grad (I am particularly interested in Masters programs in engineering from Rice Engineering Undergrad).</p>
<p>Masters programs in engineering? I’m pretty sure Rice only has one graduate school, the Jones School of Management, which, as the name implies, is business-oriented. Sorry if I’m missing something here.</p>
<p>well applying to their phd is one thing, but if you are accepted to undergrad i think all you have to do is talk to the department about obtaining a masters as a continuation of your studies. one friend of mine is considering getting a BS and MS in computer science in four years, though it will require a bit more work. i met another guy who graduated with a MS in electrical engineering in 9 semesters, and he said the department just let him stay another semester to complete the credit requirement. he is now working at Fridays as a waiter.</p>
