Out in the field, Rice has not helped, and has only hurt me.

Rice is a regional school. It has little to no recognition outside of Texas. If you are looking for a job elsewhere, or ever intend to work elsewhere, Rice will score you zero points. Compare to this to a school that is less selective, such as Hopkins, Cornell, or Brown, which are known nationally.

Career opportunities coming out of Rice are scant. True, the major consulting firms and banks do recruit there, but regardless you will be stuck in the energy field, in some capacity, in Houston.

Career Services at Rice is small, and not very informative or helpful, either.

I recommend you not attend, or, if you are already, network with professors. They are your only ticket out of there.
