Hi everyone. I am an international student. I have a dilemma here between Rice and Fisher.
Post-MBA goal: corporate finance in fmcg, retail or tech
Rice: full tuition
- Pros:
Location: Big city - major job market.
Rank: slightly higher compared to Fisher for MBA (significantly higher for undergraduate).Everyone tells me that Rice is a big school
- Cons:
Most opportunities seem to be related to oil & gas and IB => Both are not my preference. I heard that "But if your situation is not the same as those of your peers, they will tell you that you are so unique that they found it hard to help you."(from one review on the forum). Obviously, projects and experiential learning opportunities will reflect school's strength in these industries.
Living expense is high and travel within the city may be a trouble without private car.
Fisher: full tuition + fee & stipend
- Pros: more diverse job market, several fmcg and retail name included.
safe choice , finance-wise
- Cons: regional school with lower ranking.
I am leaning toward Fisher as I like their curriculum with a lot of projects and GAP. I also talked to several alumni and current students from my country so obviously, I feel more connected and can get more inside. I could not do that much with Rice as No students from my home country (VN) went to this school for the last 4 years even though they got the offer with full tuition.

Congrats on your admissions.
One perspective you can consider is the alumni network of each school in your targeted companies. I would do some search on LinkedIn & read the schools' job placement reports to check it.
Another factor is the weather. Texas is quite hot, and about Ohio, I don't know it in details but it is much cooler in the winter.

I did what you mentioned. Indeed, Rice's focus is really on oil & energy. but because of its reputation and location, I still could not gain confidence to make a decision.
