Hey guys,
Lucky enough to have an admit from Ross and Fuqua from this week. I have a few questions that I was hoping that I could get answered "semi-anonomously" before I reach out to current students. Basically I'm looking to transition in to Management Consulting and I'm wondering which school will give me a better shot. After visiting both schools I feel like I got a better vibe from Michigan, and really like the school and facilities. But going over some numbers, and MC being the end goal, I'm rethinking my strategy.
I've read that using internship statistics is helpful in consulting recruiting, as the numbers won't be skewed by sponsored students.
From employment reports: Looking at internship numbers for MBB+ Deloitte and PwC. I'm not saying I am drawing the line here for firms, but I would like to give myself the best chance to get in to one of these firms, so I'm looking at these numbers.
Ross: 43
Fuqua: 56
Also just MBB is
Ross: 21
Fuqua: 32
Are these numbers significant enough to matter at all? 10 people isn't a large amount by any means, but I just want to make sure I'm giving myself the best chance possible. What does everyone else think between these 2 schools in general? You can ignore my nitpicking above and let me know your thoughts overall or if you think it doesn't really matter where I go, I'll have the same shot at either one.
Also assume no money at either.
Thanks

I'd use a blend of the intern + FT to be honest otherwise your construct validity is moot. Also, bench these numbers vs. size of school for more clarity.
TBH you'll be fine either way, like asking "BMW vs. Mercedes?" you'll get opinionated answers but at the end of the day, both are well viewed well built vehicles. My 2cents is that location might be bigger factor here if they're close, e.g. if you want Chi town, Ross it is. If you want somewhere warmer, Duke. Assuming R2 admits I'll be in the same boat as you btw - let me know what you pick.

congrats on the offers! I'd personally choose Fuqua. I think it's the better name, though they both seem to do well in consulting recruiting. tough one though since it sounds like you think Ross is a better fit.
Also agree with the above poster. for the consulting numbers you pulled I think the difference can be significant if you also take into consideration class size. Fuqua's class size is smaller than Ross', so I'd do the math to check out the difference in % of the class that goes to those firms.
Both will clearly give you a shot at top consulting firms, so I view the argument as a slightly better fit (Ross) vs slightly better consulting recruiting (Fuqua). up to you which you want prioritize
