What has been the most surprising part of your Rice MBA experience?
The most surprising thing I have experienced in the Rice MBA program was how truly diverse the program is. It is amazing to learn from students from all sorts of backgrounds (both personal and professional). I was surprised at the amount of personal and professional relationships I have made. I was also surprised by how fast paced the recruiting process was for IB and Consulting.
What has been your favorite thing about your MBA experience so far?
My favorite thing in the program is how supportive the staff and faculty are. If you need anything, within reason, all you have to do is ask. I also enjoy all of the weekly partios and social events.
What do you love most about Houston?
I have not explored Houston much since joining the program, but I intend to explore more food options and the art scene. I really enjoy attending the Shepherd Music Hall and the Houston Symphony.
What is one piece of advice you would share with a prospective student – one sentence?
Be authentic as possible!
