Hi Adee009. Based on the thread, I'd say Rice should call you no more than 2 days before the final deadline (Feb 18th).

Do you mind share your status?

It's tough to say. It took about two weeks for my decision to be rendered after I completed my interview. However, they were up against their December 17th decision deadline whereas now the next decision deadline isn't until February 18th or so.

Did anyone else accept their Rice offer? I know I'm not the only one...

I believe Stat has an offer from Rice.

Posted from my mobile device

I also saw some people on the UT forum with Rice offers a while back. However, since this forum is relatively new they might not be aware of it.

Lets spread the word ............ I also updated the list of applicants.

Sounds good. Thanks for updating. I'll bet that a fairly decent number of UT applicants are also applying to Rice, especially ones located in the Southwest. There have to be a bunch out there. However, it looks like there are quite afew Round 2 applicants like yourself with really good profiles so in a month we'll have considerably more admits on the thread.

Has anyone had to reject any admisson offers yet? Talk about an awkward situation. It felt like I was breaking up with a girl or something. Glad that's over. Next stop: Houston.

I got my decision about a month after my interview and right before the deadline. I agree that decisions are likely to come out closer to the r2 deadline even though it's rolling admissions.

These are some real solid profiles for the Round 2 applicants on this thread. If this is any indication of the strength of the Rice applicant pool the Class of 2013 should be a very strong one.

queries for my peers on this thread

1) Are there international exchange programmes of the Rice Jones MBA program with other univs?. The main site
doesnt give data on this except maybe the exchange program in Mexico.
The jones specific site seems to be under maintenance or sumthing.

2) How would you compare Smu Cox and Rice ? since FT ranking puts cox at 96 and rice at 44, but BW keeping
cox at 12 and rice at 29. And how come Cox annual fees comes to 60k while Rice annual fees comes to 77k ?

1) Yes, there are semester-long exchange programs in Mexico and Costa Rica. However, there are also several international trip opportunities to China, Africa, India, South America, and Hong Kong. These trips last a few weeks and take place over semester and spring breaks. There is a really nice PDF presentation on the Rice website that details many aspects of the program. I think you will find this document helpful. If you can't find it I'll email it to you.

2) SMU and Rice are both solid choices. Although I didn't apply to SMU, I seriously considered it and and did quite a bit of research on the school. There are a lot of great corporate connections in Dallas through SMU, so that is definitely a positive. However, Rice also has similar connections in Houston and throughout Texas, especially in the Energy industry. Rice also places quite a few students in Investment Banking (which has a large presence in Houston because of all the activity in the Energy space) and Management Consulting. I wouldn't worry about the rankings so much. People make quite a "to do" over the rankings and after the "Ultra-Elite" schools, I personally don't think they make a lot of sense. I would conduct extensive due diligence on each program and see which one fits your short- and long-term goals. Visit each school if possible and get a feel for the atmosphere and the student body and see which one "clicks". Look at each school's career placement data including compensation, hiring firms, and geographic placement. See which hiring firms fit your interests. Ultimately it was this coupled with my solid visit which led me to choose Rice. I even picked Rice over some "higher ranked" schools because I was so impressed by the quality of the students, facilities, and career opportunities. However, you might find that SMU is the best fit for your goals. The point is that if I would have looked strictly at the rankings, I'd be matriculating somewhere else. Hence the importance of extensive research.

Financially speaking, the tuition at the two schools is almost identical. I'm not quite sure where you pulled that financial information. From a scholarship perspective, Rice is pretty generous if you have a solid profile (I can personally attest to that). I'm sure SMU is too, but I just don't have the first-hand experience with Cox in that area. Reputationally speaking, perhaps one of the Texans on this board could provide better insight into that.

Thank you very much hwc.your inputs about rice would help someone like me who could not
visit the campus make my decision.

Could you and stat pls share your profiles?

The pdf on the main site i have already gone through.
the tution fees is almost the same as you said cox:40k and rice:44k.
the total expenses included for cox comes to 60k and rice 77k according to the expenses report at each site.

The international trips are fine, but even smu cox has got many international exchange programmes with several b schools in china europe south america etc...... i was a bit surprised not to find such partnerships at jones.

I have an almost full ride from cox but am currently leaning towards rice coz of the energy sector connections
and better placement statistics overall and specifically for consulting.
Am a R2 student, decision still pending for me.

It looks like Feb. 18 is going to be a huge day on this thread (or possibly even a few days earlier). Hopefully we can bat six for six!
