I'm going to assume that you're not a troll and actually answer your questions.

  1. If you're interested in finance after college, the only schools you should seriously consider for transfer would be harvard and wharton, since those 2 are simply head and shoulders above every other school when it comes to finance recruiting. You would be wasting your time and energy on transfer applications to schools like yale/columbia/brown/dartmouth/duke. Spend your time going on BEAST MODE and dominating all your classes. While you're at it, try to get some pussy although michigan girls are notoriously bad for a big 10 school.

  2. My above post addressed the second question.

  3. Ross gets recruiting from all the consulting firms and banks. The only area where you will be left out is buyside and some other "niche" firms that only want harvard or wharton students.

  4. Compared to other big 10 schools, michigan's social scene isn't that great. But Ann Arbor is a cool town, and all my friends who went there loved it.

 

Ross gets all BB's (except JPM for NYC, only get JPM for Chicago), all elite boutiques (Greenhill/Moelis/Lazard/BX/etc.), all major MM's (Baird, Blair, Jefferies, WF, Piper, Lincoln, etc.), and many more smaller boutiques/MM's as well.

For consulting, they get basically every consulting firm (MBB, Monitor, LEK, Big 4, etc.).

If you are in Ross and can't break in, you probably wouldn't have done any better at an Ivy.

 

Ross gets very little recruitment from BAML and JPM but I believe the rest of the bulge brackets recruit there. It's boutique recruitment is great and its consulting recruitment is alright. MBB and Deloitte definitely recruit at Ross but other prominent firms like LEK, Parthenon, Dean & Company, Oliver Wyman, Booz & Co., etc. take very few kids or don't go there at all. Recruiting might be better elsewhere but it may not be worth the hassle to transfer if you enjoy the Michigan experience.

There is a lot of false information going on in this thread. According to Ross employment data:

http://www.bus.umich.edu/pdf/EmploymentProfile2010.pdf

JPM hired 40 from Ross, which is more than any other firm recruited at Ross under the "financial services" category. Obviously, they get a lot of recruitment from JPM, even more so than the other bulge brackets. Additionally, they do recruit for the NY office, not just Chicago. As for consulting, Bain/McKinsey/BCG all recruit at Ross.

No, there really isn't. First off, this is for BBA. The 40 you cited includes 10 from MBA. Secondly, the yearly recruitment document doesn't provide position. Most people want FO. All the BBs recruit for BO and MO at Ross, and I know GS, MS, Citi, CS, Barclays, DB, do FO as well. I'm pretty sure BAML doesn't do FO, and I honestly don't remember about JP Morgan. 30 is big enough that I assume there would be some FO stuff as well, but there's absolutely no way you could get that from the recruitment guide. You'd need Impact access or something like that to see this, which I assume you don't have.

 

S&T and Equity Research are still considered Front Office but Treasury, Operations, Credit, Private Banking, and Technology are all back office Ben and that's where most of the JPM hires from Ross are going. I would say the majority of Ross students go into Front Office (IBD, S&T, or ER) but there are still a decent amount that go into less than desirable roles. That's basically true with every undergraduate business school besides Wharton since not everyone can get an IBD jobs and so the ones in the bottom 15% of the class have to settle.

 

I have no idea where all of you are getting the idea BAML of JPM don't come to Ross. I graduated recently and BAML hired the most people out of any BB from Ross. All the BB, lots of MM and elite boutiques all do OCR at Ross. For consulting MBB and a lot of the smaller firms all do OCR. For pure trading, lots of prop trading shops from chicago do OCR.

At least for S&T, all Umich students (LSA+Ross) at the internship superday last year were on the non-targeted schools recruiting days.
