Looking into recruiting for IB positions post-MBA and I'm trying to pick the list of schools that I want to apply at. I've got the obvious ones on my radar: H/S/W, Booth, MIT, Columbia, & Stern. Yale and Cornell are strong in banking as well. That being said, Kellogg and UM Ross are two schools that are very strong, but aren't necessarily well known for finance and almost never send much more than 10% of their classes into IB.
I'm trying to narrow down a broad list of schools to a much smaller list, based on fit, location, etc, but I want to make sure I'm not leaving any schools off my main "broad" list of schools that offer lots of opportunities to land a job at a BB IB firm.
The question then becomes, should I even include these two schools on my list of potential schools to apply to? With only about 10% of their classes going into IB, it seems like these schools don't focus primarily on finance. I am from Michigan and think that I would recruit well at these two schools, but I'm still worried about my prospects postgrad enough to maybe even not bother applying. What are your opinions, GMATClub?

I would go with W/Chi/Col/NYU as top choices for finance + H/S (which are good for everything). If you take a look at the function (not industry) breakdown, you'll see that the first 4 send the most people into pure IB jobs (not PWM for instance). MIT sends about 5% in 2009, Kellogg about 4-5%, Ross about 7%. I don't know how strong Yale is for IB because they don't have a detailed breakdown by function as they have by industry - I wonder why when all other schools do that. For instance, Columbia sends 28% to IB industry, but only about 13% go to IB functions. So, when you see Yale's figures, you might guess that perhaps some 7-10%, up to 15% maximum, go to pure IB functions. Just bear that in mind. For example, Cornell send 17% into IB industry, but only 8% into IB function (this is for 2010 internships, 2009 FT is 22% IB industry vs. 12% IB function) - I think Yale's figures would parallel that ratio and these schools are not head and shoulders above the other top 8-15 schools when in comes to IB - the only difference might be their proximity to NY.
Kellogg vs. Ross will depend on whether you want to apply to a wider range of schools - top 10-15 vs. only top 5 schools. Both schools are very close in their recruiting profiles as to industry/function. Chances at Ross might be slightly better than at Kellogg, so if you would like to hedge your bets somehow, you might pick Ross. If you feel confident that you will get in into at least 1 of the top 5, pick Kellogg.

Yeah ultimately neither school would be my top choice, but I think that I need to apply to a wide range of schools beyond just my dream schools. I'm just wondering if Kellogg and Ross even make sense if my goal is to do IB postgrad. It sounds like you've got the same idea, ie, they're less than ideal -- but do you think they are at least still acceptable?
