I know both schools place a large percentage of their class in consulting positions, but I was wondering if Yale's smaller student body gives students a slight advantage over Ross in getting into a top tier consulting firm. I've hear roughly 200+ students at Ross are looking to go into consulting, whereas Yale has less than 100, and that the number of students going to Bain, McKinsey, ect. is not significantly higher at Ross than it is at Yale.
What scares me is some firms (McKinsey) have a Ross recruitment page on their website but not a Yale SOM page. I plan on going to both the Ross and Yale accepted weekends but would like to know what you all think. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Smaller class size does not provide advantage on consulting recruiting. Some of the largest b-schools consistently place large number of students into top tier MC. Smaller class size may actually hurt recruiting, since there are less alum pulling for the school.
Having a well-developed page is a good indicator of the effort the company puts into recruiting at the school.
There are materially different placement rate to top tier MC between Michigan and Yale:
