<p>UT BHP over Rice definitely. They both place well into Houston banking with a distinct edge to BHP at less than half the cost. As for Cornell, you need to decide which market you’d rather end up in. If you want to end up in the Houston energy sector, go to UT. If you’re dead set on NYC, generally Cornell will have somewhat of an edge. IB compensation is generally pretty close amongst the major markets ( NYC, Chicago, houston, LA, SF).
Personally, UT BHP seems like the best choice in this position.</p>

<p>@andy09 - I appreciate the input. I think so too; in terms of cost efficiency, BHP seems to win out.</p>
