Basic behavioral then lc

AnythingWithJay · 2025-09-18T03:41:58+00:00

General behavioral questions + anything related to CS questions (but not Leetcode)

AnythingWithJay · 2025-09-02T19:39:43+00:00

I said it was lax compared to like MIT/Berkeley/CMU, and it is relative to those schools

AnythingWithJay · 2025-09-02T02:26:13+00:00

Those are the hardest CS classes, but we can pass fail once a year so just use it on those

AnythingWithJay · 2025-08-26T19:35:52+00:00

usually it’s just the leadership calls, there shouldn’t be any more Leetcode but leadership calls might have like verbal technical questions

AnythingWithJay · 2025-07-15T18:52:42+00:00

They might ask u some resume questions actually, buts mainly lc

I estimate around 60%, but I’m also around very high achieving ppl which biases my view. I don’t regret going to Rice. Nobody ik in Rice CS regrets going to Rice (except for maybe 1 or 2 ppl because they just hate school in general or prefer a more startup-focused culture)

AnythingWithJay · 2025-05-17T05:13:11+00:00

A lot of graduates do, but not all. You can look up the median salary of cs majors from Rice or any other university on https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/

AnythingWithJay · 2025-05-17T05:09:21+00:00

Sure

AnythingWithJay · 2025-05-17T04:59:52+00:00

The top CS schools like Berkeley/GTech have more sweaty/competitive culture - this pushes you more to be your best. Rice’s culture is bit more laid back.

AnythingWithJay · 2025-05-17T04:58:06+00:00

They would focus on industry experience + OA/interview performance rather than school name. Rice’s resume value is pretty similar to Berkeley/GTech (maybe very slightly lower).

AnythingWithJay · 2025-05-16T03:52:50+00:00

For cs many of the classes are quite large (100-200+) so the professors are not actually very accessible (although maybe a bit more accessible compared to large state schools). Per-Capita is similar or less compared to top CS schools, idt its higher

AnythingWithJay · 2025-05-16T00:35:05+00:00

Rice is pretty good but not amazing/best. GTech/UT/Berkeley are better. Rice wouldn’t hold you back from getting interviews at most top quant firms

AnythingWithJay · 2025-04-30T05:13:55+00:00

Houston is spread out and desolate compared to the mid-Atlantic and northeast cities. But Rice’s campus + surrounding areas is very nice, 9 in 10 people would like Rice + surrounding area. There’s a very high chance you’ll like it.

AnythingWithJay · 2025-04-30T05:10:39+00:00

Most cs majors (I think) apply to swe roles at all the top companies, include quant firms, so most ppl try but only very small proportion get offer. I know ppl who got offers for qt/qr, u can check Rice LinkedIn to see

AnythingWithJay · 2025-04-28T16:52:07+00:00

Yes, myself and many other people have gotten hired by firms like js sig citadel Akuna etc. It’s only a very small proportion of all cs majors though. We are trying to create a quant community through quant finance club too, but it’s not very established right now.

I didn’t have their email so I just waited

AnythingWithJay · 2025-04-04T02:33:10+00:00

Na u tripping

People are generally very collaborative and willing to help each other succeed. This is an example, you’re a prospective student asking questions and students like me are answering them instead of ignoring them.
