What has been the most surprising part of your Rice MBA experience?
I was shy before entering Rice, but I was so enthusiastic that I went out of my comfort zone to build contacts. People here, both students and faculty, are so pleasant that you can't help but engage. I view myself as a completely different person. And I like this aspect of myself.
What has been your favorite thing about your MBA experience so far?
My technical round of interviews. I was well -prepared because of Rice and the hard work of my seniors. I thoroughly loved the interviews and was offered an internship in my dream role.
Partio, after a week of hard work, you meet with your peers and seniors to celebrate your time at Rice.
What do you love most about Houston?
Diversity, people, food, and weather.
What is one piece of advice you would share with a prospective student – one sentence?
Start early, plan ahead, meet deadlines, and avoid procrastination. Stay motivated and commit to your success.
