offers between the two, both major east coast offices.... which places better into h/w/s???
I know OW has the direct to partnership model, but if you really wanted to go to b-school -- which is better?
also, which has higher quality work -- i.e. more strategy, F50 clients?

I would say OW, less
I would say OW, less implementation projects if I'm not mistaken. These are the breakdowns for 2013 MBA classes at
HBS: http://poetsandquants.com/2011/08/15/top-feeder-co...
Wharton: http://poetsandquants.com/2011/08/07/top-feeder-co...
These stats are for the entire companies, so for Deloitte it's out of 180k+ employees and for Oliver Wyman is out of about 3k employees. I'd say Oliver Wyman may be the better bet, especially if you're looking to get into finance later (after B-School).
Go with OW.
Go with OW.

NewEngladah, you do realize
NewEngladah, you do realize that the OP pointed out Deloitte S&O and not the entire firm, therefore you using 180K employees really isn't a fair representation at all considering I'd venture to guess S&O represents 90% of all Deloitte's placement into top MBAs.
Apples to apples comparison would only account for the # of S&O employees vs # of Oliver Wyman employees.
Deloitte guy says to go to
Deloitte guy says to go to OW...should tell you something.
If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses - Henry Ford
Deloitte guy here as well -
Deloitte guy here as well - If your sole purpose is to get into H/W/S, then it's probably a wash between the two companies. ~90% of the Deloitte number that you see at M7 schools are S&O, and there are only about ~70 that apply to BSchool each yaer (through GSAP program, which is mostly for S&O only).
If you want to do finance, then definitely go to OW.
I do realise that he said
I do realise that he said Deloitte S&O, just wanted to convey that the numbers aren't just S&O, but rather represent all of the firm. That said, a large majority of the MBAs from Deloitte come from S&O with most of the remainder coming from Corp Fin.
OW if FS, S&O if anything
OW if FS, S&O if anything else
I personally think the work
I personally think the work in OW would be more interesting, however I bet that Deloitte S&O may place better for b school. I don't have data to back this up, but it's a feeling I get.
