As emphatic as these numbers and your assertions sound, one can argue that the difference in class size(100 or so) can easily account for 50% or even 100% of the additional 20 hires at GSB. If that was true, then may be Ross would have the same hires if it had the same class size. Obviously, none of us know if that is indeed the case. Granted, that's just splitting hairs and I generally agree that the numbers stack up better at GSB and the other schools when compared to Ross. What I dont agree with, is the notion that GSB is going to "win" someone a job at McK just because he went there (or) that one person's chances will dramatically swing just on account of the school he went. Specifically for consulting, as you said companies need to hire in large numbers.

For that reason, I dont think the recruiter at Ross is going into the room thinking "Gee, I better not be carried away by all these obviously awesome candidates who are coming through the door at Ross. Need to remember that I must hire only 13 people from Ross because I need to make additional hires at GSB".

By the same token, I dont think any recruiter at GSB is going to think "This candidate sucks. But, he is from GSB and I better hire him because I need to hire x number of people at GSB". I can't see this happening with standard post-MBA careers like IB or consulting.



Re: facebook stats, I am surprised there is no one in the incoming class from M/B/B. May be nobody with the "analyst" designation is joining GSB. but are you sure that absolutely no one from M/B/B is joining GSB? That seems implausible.
