Depends if you already have a brand name school on your resume. If you have a top undergraduate school or graduate school on your resume, I would go with Ross, otherwise go with GSB.
Both schools will place you well in consulting. After 5-10 years, GSB won't help you over Ross.
GSB has the name though. You like BMWs over Toyotas?
I partially agree...for consulting both schools are great...but think of whether you want your alumni network to help you get into a corporate job in a few yrs or a pe shop ... look into which school has a better alumni network in which ultimate job field for you...
the GSB is no BMW and Ross is no Toyota...they are both hybrid cars, all about efficiency and about changing according to the markets they cater to.
it may seem like an oh so flashy world from the outside but trust me. I know people at the Ross that are absolute rock stars, and i feel I am not half as smart as them... the school will be a launching pad THAT IS ALL
you are who you are, you got to this point based on your own merit dont let the name of a school dictate your credibility or aptitude...it is the wrong approach to applying to b school... but this is just my opinion.
