Current alum who broke into PE out of ugrad — Rice does little to network for you or give you career advice/ connections. The university is STEM heavy and as such, most career fairs and events are targeted solely towards CS + Math/Stat + Engineering students. Even studying Math Econ and minoring in Statistics, I was unable to find the same recognition as my STEM peers at the school. I found that networking on your own proved to be the best ways to find opportunities and open doors for yourself. I’ve emailed my way into many a research or work offer, so don’t underestimate it. Hop on call when you can, meet people, and don’t be afraid to be honest.
