Washu is probably best for work-life balance. Vanderbilt doesn’t have protected weekends, but exits are elite. Rice has particularly strong firm culture. Really can’t go wrong, just depends on what you’re looking for.

If you want to do Houston IB, hands down easy decision to go to Rice. Otherwise, I would honestly not make a decision based on prestige because I feel like all the kids who are strong from these schools get the gigs they’re looking for. I’d personally take Vanderbilt, but I’m not familiar with WashU.

 

Y u didn't apply to Duke? It’s literally the “Harvard of the south” and a strong target

 

The stats required for Vandy / Rice / Washu is literally the same as Duke's admissions stats. Anyways, would go with Vanderbilt. If you get into those other schools mentioned, def take Columbia

 

Any city —> Vandy

Purely Houston —> Rice

Purely Chicago —> WashU

I would go with Vandy for great looks at any city, great student life, and amazing city. At the end of the day choose the school that you like the most because if you are a stand out student and are willing to grind you will get looks at any bank from these schools.
