Calling all Rice Jones FT MBA Applicants: (2019 Intake) Class of 2021

Wuhoo! I received an admit with scholarship! Congrats to all the others who have been admitted and best of luck to the rest. Super excited right now. Also super anxious about visa, loan, and figuring out a place to stay. Any suggestions?

My SO attends Rice currently and they have graduate student housing where international students get priority for housing so that should not be an issue for you. Not sure about how anything else in your questions works but congrats on getting admitted!!

Would the housing provided by the school be cheaper than sharing an apartment/house in the nearby area? I don’t know much about the cost of living there.

For those who have been admitted, can you please let us know the Deposit Deadline? It would give WL candidates a fair idea when they can hear back from Rice.

The deposit deadline is 25th January ‘19.

Good Day Guys,
I'm so excited that I could finally submit my application for the R2, hope to get the admitted call!! I'm so nervous, any of those applying for R2 have received an answer or udpate?

I did not find any TOEFL requirement in the following link! Do Rice university for MBA require TOEFL for International student?

Yes, that is one of the requirements if you're an International student unless you're graduated from an University who first/main language is English, the TOEFL is a requirement.

luisantamaria, did you find any link where the university directly says that they require TOEFL for international student? It'll be appreciate if you help me by giving the authentic source.

Anyone from round 2 hear back on interview invites?

No yet, I think that I'm done with interviews because I had it back in October prior submit my application but being honest, I'm not sure if I supposed to have more.

Hope we can hear good news soon.

Still waiting

Good luck to you all!
