<p>I go to University of Michigan engineering school. I was thinking about transfering to more of a target school.</p>
<p>So I went to the engineering career office today. I was just chatting with the career office advisor person and I was asking about how likely it is to get into BB ibanks or MBB consulting from the engineering school, and he said about the same chance as from Ross, and then proceed to say Michigan Engineering is highly regarded by the groups that prefer quantitative skills. Is that true?</p>
<p>He then explain that obviously the placement percentage are not comparable because 90% of the engineering students do not plan or do not want to work in finance anyway. but of the people who actually want to/apply BB ibank/MBB consulting (serious interest but not just a resume drop at career fair), the success percentage should be comparable.</p>
<p>He then explain this year might be a bit of an anomally that we see the percentage for engineering students lower because S&T and quant positions are down and they like engineers for those positions.</p>
<p>Does this sound likely? Or is he just trying to convince me not to transfer?</p>
