<p>“they are not listed in the Ross Employment Profile”</p>

<p>lesdiablesbleus, the Ross employment profile only lists companies where 8 or more students in total (MBA, BBA, Full time and Intern) accepted an offer. Since GS and MS usually recruit very few MBAs at Ross, for the BBA program to hit 8 on a down year is not easy. But GS always recruits undergrads at Michigan and 2009 was no different. GS hired 5 BBAs in 2008, 9 BBAs in 2007, 9 BBAs in 2006, 10 BBAs in 2005 and 4 BBAs in 2004.</p>

<p>Not that it matters. If you chose to believe that GS did not recruit at Ross in 2009, it does not change the fact that if you compare verified hires at top IBanks and Consulting firms from Ross and Wharton annually (including 2009), and adjust for size, the difference is negligible. Since I doubt that Dartmouth and Duke do a better job of placing their students into IBanks and Consulting firms than Wharton, then it is safe to say that they do not do a better job than Ross either.</p>

<p>And though it is true that no Ross BBA joined BCG according to Ross’ employment profile in 2008 and 2009, each year, roughly 10 Ross BBAs join Consulting firms of equal stature (Bain, Booz and McKinsey). Furthermore, as the profiles of BCG partners in NYC proves, Ross has high-level staff members at BCG. Again, adjusted for size, the difference between Wharton and Ross is not that significant.</p>
