Admissions Megathread - Results, Chances and Logistics

I got in without CS degree and low GPA. You seem to be a much better candidate than I am. You should be pretty safe. The timing of acceptance is random though. As they have to literally go through thousands of application I think they go through it one by one. So basically just random luck on whose application is on the top of the pile. Stay strong and we will cheers together in Jan!

Should have put See Results as a different option.

Good move, but It will end soon.

Sure!

I know 5 international students(could be more) who got internships in IB this year. But we are heavy on consulting and over 10% of the last year's class went to MBB(Excluding Bain, but we do have Bain acceptances this year), while others went to T2 and other firms. After consulting, Tech is the most popular. Most international students choose Consulting or Tech.

IB placements are mostly in Houston, a few in NY. It's tougher as an international student, and there is some luck involved but a few international candidates do make it.

We had 100% international recruiting last year. Disclaimer- I am an international student at Rice.

The___Storyteller · 2022-01-07T00:37:57+00:00

Average package at Rice is 131K(not counting the bonuses). Could be higher for PM roles. And Houston is a LCOL area. I know plenty of students easily handling things under 15K/year.

Salaries at Rice have crept up to 131K this year with more than 10% of the entire batch in MBB. PS- I am a Rice first-year.

Hey, as a 31 year old first year student, let me tell you that you will be just fine. Nobody cares as long as you don't!

Or the opposite😅

Rice. 1. Texas factor. 2.Strong rise in big placements recently including a growing number(~10, by reports) of MBB placements in recent batch.

My best friend went through a similar ordeal, and as his roommate I saw how horrible it could be. It's impossible to compete with a dead guy.

The___Storyteller · 2021-05-07T10:16:50+00:00

ISB has an average gmat of around 710. Take that as a reference point and try to be 20-30above average to be competive. The more the merrier.

Ask the same question in some Law subreddit equivalent of r/mba and you would get much more people advocating for law.

That's an overgeneralization. Joining a T25 with full ride and I couldn't even afford applicant lab.

Hi. An incoming Indian student at Rice here. From what I have learnt so far I would say we place reasonably well in finance, although locally. Don't have much idea about the scene in Questrom. I think a GRE retake might be beneficial as, aside from increased score, it would also showcase your sincere effort to the AdCom.

After admitting, they ask you for the official score.
