Rice is the top school for energy investment banking candidates, holds relationships with every bank in Houston and has a very structured recruiting process. The alumni base is very strong in Houston, and guidance from the Career Development Office and second year students in the Finance Association was invaluable.

My favorite moment so far was getting the phone call that I had received an internship. So much networking and preparation went into landing the job that I felt very proud of myself. The best part was that it was not just me who got to celebrate. My classmates and the CDO — both of whom were there every step of the way — got to celebrate too.
