Ross or CS for consulting?

<p>I've heard that consulting firms really like engineers/anybody with a quantitative degree, but also that MBB focuses on Ross a lot... I'm wondering how big the differences in recruiting for MBB are between the two schools. I'd rather go for CS + math than CS + BBA finance for what it's worth</p>

<p>Consulting is broad. Management consulting you’d be better off in Ross. IT consulting you’d have to be in CS.</p>

<p>Yeah, I meant management/strat</p>

<p>definitely business</p>

<p>MBB recruits pretty heavily from EGL, if you can get into that and graduate from that program it is probably your best bet. However, it requires a 3.6 in the COE to even apply.</p>

<p>I was actually thinking about just staying in LSA to do CS since it’d be easier to do it with math in LSA, I get the same resources as the CS majors in CoE, and I’m already in LSA</p>

<p>Do you have access to CoE placement services? Btw, you can’t apply to EGL from LSA.</p>

<p>EGL placement statistics:

<p>My good friend from Ross who’s working in McKinsey in Chicago after graduation next year told me that MBB might hire 2-3 engineers total between the three in any given year. They might also give out an offer to 1-2 students enrolled in LSA.</p>

<p>MBB represents the cream of the crop of employers for college graduates though. Even at target programs like Ross, their individual hiring numbers be in the single digits. It’s just really tough to get these jobs with 4 or 5 notable exceptions among the top private schools.</p>

<p>I would focus and getting into Ross and doing well in whatever courses you take.</p>
