CV In order to assess your work experience, we require you to submit a professional resume. Spend some time before submitting your application to make sure that your resume is up-to-date and appropriate to use in an application to a business school. In general, your professional resume should be no longer than one page (as opposed to an academic curriculum vitae, or CV). Rather than serve as an exhaustive list of all of your job duties, your resume should highlight your employment history, education, and extracurricular involvement. We also want to learn about who you are outside of your job duties, so our application includes an entire section dedicated to your extracurricular activities. Use this space to list the groups you are a member of, the activities you lead, and the impact you have on your community. You will also have a chance to talk about any awards or special recognition that you have received. Fee Once your application has been submitted and application fee (USD$200.00) has been paid, our Admissions Committee will begin reviewing your materials. RL Requirement: One professional recommendation from current direct supervisor; two recommendations if first is not from current direct supervisor Each applicant to the Rice MBA program is required to collect one recommendation from your current direct supervisor. If you are not in a position to ask for a recommendation from your current direct supervisor, we will require that you collect two professional recommendations. At least one recommendation needs to be from someone highlighting your professional abilities; altogether, applicants are allowed to provide us up to three recommendations. After entering your recommender’s contact information into your application, the application system will immediately send a recommendation form to that individual. Recommenders will be asked to evaluate your performance and abilities via this online form, and will also have an opportunity to attach a traditional letter of recommendation before submitting it. In addition to the recommendations, if you know a current Rice MBA student or alumni, you may ask them to write you a Build the Class referral, which will qualify you for an application fee waiver. Transcript Unofficial transcripts from all degree-granting institutions and institutions at which you earned nine (9) or more credit hours. To submit your application, you must upload unofficial (scanned) copies of transcripts for each degree that you have earned. We will also require transcripts for each institution at which you completed nine (9) or more credits, unless those courses and grades are reflected on the final transcript from your degree-granting institution. You will not be required to send us official (physical or electronic) transcripts until you decide to enroll in the Rice MBA program. If the admissions committee notices issues with the accuracy or legibility of your unofficial transcripts, we also reserve the right to request that you send us an official transcript.
