<p>Which is harder to get into right after undergrad</p>
<p>Top I-banks or top consulting firms?</p>
<p>And how much is the difference?</p>
<p>My opinion is Ibanks… but I don’t know statistically speaking. Why do you ask?</p>
<p>Top ibanks</p>
<p>Interesting topic. </p>
<p>What’s more difficult to get after college, a BA spot at McKinsey or an Analyst slot at GS IBD?</p>
<p>"The two fields, however, are very different, and getting into one does not mean that you can easily get into the other. "</p>
<p>Hmm. Why would you say that? What type of person (education, etc.) would have a higher chance at an I-Bank versus a a Top Consulting firm? Or the other way around? Basically what are the differences between what both are looking for in an undergrad?</p>

<p>I always felt that consulting was tougher to get but maybe that was just because far fewer consulting firms recruited at my school than IBs. However, I do think IBs recruit at more schools, are less academic in their interview approach and you have a better chance of networking in to get a job if the company doesn’t interview on your campus than in consulting. Also, while I interviewed with less consulting firms than IBs, the fact that I had 0 consulting offers and 3 IB offers probably clouds my opinion too.</p>
