<p>@rjk - your logic appears to be flawed. </p>
<p>You state that “Michigan has a world class reputation and it will be much better known in your home country.” You base that on three international rankings where Brown and Georgetown fare poorly. </p>
<p>Next, you explain problems with the rankings by saying “Because Georgetown is known for its SFS and is in our nation’s capital. Brown is known as an IL school.”</p>
<p>So if Michigan’s purported world class rep is based on flawed rankings, the starting point of your argument is unsupported. Look, UM probably is better known internationally. That’s my gut feel. It doesn’t seem like you have more than that to go on either. It’s not enough.</p>
<p>Since there’s really no support for this advice, I suggest the OP take it with a very large grain if salt. Even better, take GoBlue’s advice above and evaluate the recognition and prestige of both school’s in his home country and use that info as part of the decision-making process.</p>
<p>And how does one do that really?? Ask around?? </p>
<p>^^^I suggest looking at international rankings such as those listed above. I’m sure the employers in those foreign countries will…</p>
<p>“UM probably is better known internationally. That’s my gut feel. It doesn’t seem like you have more than that to go on either. It’s not enough.”</p>
<p>Welcome to the world of CC.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Your point is spot on for some people on CC. Less so for others. In my opinion, CC would be improved with fewer people associating their gut feelings with strong advice that they pass off as fact.</p>

<p>It’s not quite that easy to break into IBD and MC if the school’s career center doesn’t allocate interview spots specifically for the undergrads in the program/university. Having a lot of university alumni in senior positions in the firm won’t help all that much when there are hundreds of Wolverines fighting for the same position at the junior level. There’s almost networking involved with consulting jobs: it is all about attending a “target school”, having a high GPA plus strong extracurriculars, and performing well in the case interviews.</p>
<p>At any rate, the OP would be a junior transfer to Michigan or Vanderbit here so unfortunately Ross is not an option since that would require 2 more years of schooling and $100,000 tuition.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt has pretty strong recruiting that has increased recently so I would definitely feel better about my employment prospects from there.</p>
