5 out of 170....wow!
My school? Are you sure?
Oh, sorry no McKinsey and Bain for the class of 2015 - just 1 in 2013 at Bain (from LinkedIn).
Don't confuse negative with honest....and....
Don't look at the employment statistics of any school!
Good luck!

2) many of the companies that students took a job at don't have vanderbilt listed as target schools on their websites.
I dont think this should be looked at as a negative. Vanderbilt has a uncanny ability to place people at a ton of places. The fact that they place people at non-target schools should excite you not scare you.[/quote]
1) Deloitte hired a ton of Owen students? 2 or 3 for strategy and operations and another
2) If recruiters and companies don't come to campus, it is very difficult to get an interview.[/quote
So 5 people were placed at Deloitte last yr which is pretty high considering the class. People also went to Bain and mckensey. 21% of the class went to consulting and 17% was to management strat , 4% healthcare consulting. Core means they have a standing relationship with Owen and hire their students.
As far as finance they avg about 8% into ib. Thats decent considering you are outside the m7. Cornell only puts about 11-12% and they are in ny. Citi is a core school again go look it up predator.
Something is fishy about predator. You just joined today and are talking relatively negative about your own school. Hmmmm . You don't know your own core recruiters and you stated that companies that come to you school dont really come. I would take predators info with a grain of salt.[/quote]

I like that you joined today simply to talk on this board that you have no affiliation to. You made up a fake gmat score which is awesome. 5 out of 170 to one company is pretty good. That means a school like duke would have to place 14-15. You're not very good at math so I doubt that fake gmat score. It sounds more like you have a bone to pick with a school... Didn't get in?

Hi All,
I'm a current 1st year at Owen and figured I'd share my experiences relating to a few of the latest posts on the board.
In my opinion, thisisatest is spot on: Owen does well in placing students at consulting and IB firms considering its size and that we are not an M7 school.
In consulting, Deloitte has a heavy presence on campus throughout the year (we are a core school for them) and usually takes at least 6-8 students FT every year. While the absolute number is low, the percentage is in line with several higher ranked schools. North Highland and CapGemini also take several students per year, and, finally, BCG is considering expanding their presence on campus as well (2 interns were taken this year from a relatively small group of applicants). Top students who are willing to do the leg work are also often rewarded with offers from other top firms.
I'm less familiar with banking (I'm a recovering consultant), but know that we are core for Citi and routinely place people in both IB and PWM roles at Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan, SunTrust, and Bank of America.
Tech firms like Adobe, Amazon, Cisco, and Microsoft (and, potentially next year, Apple) have also caught on and begun recruiting multiple students per year from Owen.
From what I understand, the admissions process and career services team were both revamped three or four years ago and those changes have begun paying off in terms of better class profiles, career placements, etc.
I locked up my internship with a tech firm early in school year through on campus recruiting but knew several people who went outside of OCR and were able to score some terrific internships with firms that don't traditionally come to campus. For hard working and intelligent students who are willing to network and do a bit more of the legwork, lack of an on-campus presence shouldn't be a deterrent. If I end up venturing back into consulting next year, I'll probably look at several boutiques and am confident I could land an offer from at least one.
All the best and feel free to PM me with questions.

Plus nashville is a hub for healthcare so alot of people are staying for that.
