<p>For management consulting, which school would give me better chances or more recruitments in schools. I do not plan to become an investment banker btw...</p>
<p>At that level, it doesn't really matter. Both schools are excellent. Stern, however, is considered more prestigious, and since it's in NYC, you might have a better chance of recruitment. In terms of recruiting IB and consulting aren't much different. They both visit the top schools, and Stern and CMU Tepper both fit that title.</p>
<p>I would personally say Tepper for consulting... but this is pure hearsay. Stern's a financial powerhouse, not a mgmt powerhouse.</p>
<p>Stern is in NYC .</p>
<p>sounds like better oppertunity than pittsburge</p>
<p>I would say if you want to go into consulting, go for Wharton or Ross.</p>
<p>I would agree with Alexandre. However, both Stern and CMU have strong business programs and are well rated. However, I have lived near NYU most of my younger life and have visited CMU; both have very different cultures. You really need to visit both schools, sit in classes, check out the dorms and the food,and meet the kids. You just need to find where you are most comfortable because I think they are similar in quality.</p>
<p>I also agree with Alexandre. As a Stern student, I would not recommend coming to Stern for a consulting job. Most Stern kids are finance majors because, as anaraxon said, Stern is a financial powerhouse, not a management powerhouse. If you are set on Stern, out of the "international" consulting firms your choices are limited to McKinsey and Deloitte & Touche. Both are excellent firms, but you don't have the kind of depth you may have at say Wharton or Ross. As for CMU, I think of infosys and quant. analysis when I think Tepper. They're not even in the top 25 for management programs. If it's between Stern and CMU, go with Stern, but there are better schools.

<p>For Ross.... you get in at your sophomore year at Michigan right? Is it difficult for an out-of-state student to get in or does it not matter whether your in-state or out?</p>
<p>No, for Ross, you can now get in automatically, straight out of high school. And if you are considering Stern, Ross is probably within your reach too. And even if you do not get in straight away, you will have a good shot of getting into LSA anyway and can re-apply at the end of your Freshman year. And no, once at Michigan, Ross does not differentiate between in-state, out-of-state and international.</p>
<p>So it seems like finance is for IB and management is for consulting. I thought the guys who apply for jobs in IB are the same ones who also apply for consulting positions. Would a management major be the ideal business major/focus (meaning no liberal arts/engineering) for consulting?</p>
