I like the idea of rpratt620's rankings where it is both time-averaged and source-averaged. (3 sources, ranks for a decade).
At the same time, I like P&Q's idea of assigning weights to these sources. FWIW I think the FT has far too many flaws to have a 1/3rd weight.
It would be nice to see an integration of both these techniques. (edit: possibly including a time-weighting as well - with more recent ranks mattering more).
But heck, after all rankings are just rankings.

I am trying to understand your numbers. Where do you see that Fuqua had 35 MBB hires? According to the BW page it was only 6 (all McKinsey). Please let us know where you are finding other data as this would make a BIG difference in influencing my decision of where to attend. (Only 6 MBB with 440 students would put Duke at 1.3%--This would be horrible for consulting)

If you look in the employment report on the 1st page of this thread.
The placement is as follows for M/B/B for Class of 2010 (intern for Class of 2011)
McK - 7 (10)
BCG - 3 (8)
Bain - 2 (4)
Total - 12 (22) --> 34
This number is for the entire school. However, you need to keep in mind that 1) last year, consulting was cutting down on hiring, 2) only 20-25% of the students at Fuqua recruit for consulting, and 3) there are other consulting companies out there.
M/B/B isn't the end all and be all of consulting. There are people who turn down M/B/B for "lower-tier" or boutique consulting for various reasons (especially for the large contigent of people who are interested in healthcare consulting).
