<p>"…I know that Ross is a very great business school and could easily help me find work in consulting."</p>
<p>I wish that were the case Eric, but getting a job with a consulting firm is never easy, even for students at Ross. Heck, even students at Wharton have a hard time securing positions with major consulting firms. Ross is usually ranked #1 in General Management and for many years was home to CK Prahalad, considered by many to be one of the leading figures in the world of Corporate Strategy. For this reason, many major consulting firms hold Ross, and Michigan as a whole, in high regard.</p>
<p>LSA is recruited by consulting firms, but on a limited basis. The majority of LSA students who secure jobs with consulting firms do so on their own initiative. The Michigan diploma will take you far to be sure, but consutling firms typically hire very few undergrads. I would guess that with the exception of Harvard and maybe Wharton, that all the major consulting firms combined (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, OW, Booz and a couple of others) do not hire more than 20-40 undergrads from any one university, including most elites.</p>
