Two quick questions about MBA programs from an IB perspective:
1. is Ross a target program for banks?
2. How appreciable is the difference between, for instance, Wharton and Fuqua when it comes to IB recruiting? Do all target programs get roughly the same number of IB spots, in proportion to class size? Or do tier 1 schools get the lion's share (say, 10 spots/year) while tier 2 or 3 programs get 3-4 spots each?





Ross is not an MBA school.
Ross is not an MBA school. Perhaps you'd like to rephrase your question ? I think you meant to compare the undergraduate programs at these places? I'm a high school senior so I'll leave the answering to people with actual experience in the industry.
This may be a useful resource for you though:

Sorry, I could not find similar lists for the other two schools you mentioned.

Ross is the business school at the University of Michigan. They have an MBA program.

I am a graduating senoir... but here's my take:
While i-banks give out more offers at Wharton, you will have to go against a more competitive applicant pool than you would at a lower tier MBA program. So, if you can stand out among your peers somewhere else, you may be better off.

Opps, my mistake. For the longest time I was under the impression that both Ross and Kellog where at the University of Michigan and that Ross was just the undergraduate program. I thought it was pretty funny that they had different names, but I just let it slide. I suppose that reveals how little I know about the industry. Hey, we all make mistakes, I never said I was an expert. I suppose I really should have Googled that before I typed though, i've learned my lesson.

While this seems logical enough, the Wharton MBA surpasses the 2nd tier MBA due to its robust alumni network in the industry. Not every job offer in history came from OCR.

You're the dipshit for even replying. Surely you have something better to do with your life than stroking your gigantic ego by tearing down a high school kid.
But that's okay, I know why you do it, it's a purely psychological thing: psychologists say that when one feels deficient in one aspect of self, in your case your abnormally small cock, there is a natural tendency to overcompensate by concentrating on ones larger assets, in your case your ego. The metaphorical stroking of your ego is an attempt on your mind's part to make up for your physical deficiencies - mainly your inability to get your tiny pecker up. It must be hard, seeking Alpha, when you can't even get your penis to rise let alone the value of your portfolio. I've got no such issues, if I'm Doctor Evil you're Mini Me.
Get a life. Attacking people anonymously doesn't make you a bigger man. You're personality is as fucked up as AIG's balance sheet. You're obviously not going to get anywhere in life with that type of attitude. Shmuck. Now get your ass back to the back office.
Ross MBA here. Ross

Ross definitely doesn't get the volume or quality of hires as some higher-ranked schools, but this is (IMO) largely because Ross doesn't have a lot of former IB analysts. Good candidates from Ross do fine.
This year, Ross had over 30 summer associate offers. Virtually everybody who was serious about banking got an offer. Five to JPM (none of them former analysts), four to BarCap, and a similar number to Citi, UBS, Wells, Deutsche and some others.
On the other hand, a number of top banks don't recruit on campus, e.g. Goldman, Morgan Stanley, top boutiques, etc. Most of these recruit BBA's, but not MBA's.

Loved that.
I don't buy the assumption that it's easier to compete against lesser peers. IMHO, firms take into account that fact that it's as hard to be on the median at Wharton than to be first at a non-target, and thus have proportionally more spots open at the better schools.
Cool; appreciate the advice,

I'm a first-year at Kellogg
I'm a first-year at Kellogg heading into banking at a BB for the summer. I can't speak to Ross, but know a lot about recruiting at a tier-1 non-finance school. One thing I can say about our school is that while we don't have the numbers interested in banking as say Booth or Wharton, we place very well into BB and elite boutiques. Out of 25 or so interested in banking, we placed 20 at BB, 3 at elite boutiques, and 2 in middle-market. We have 8 going to GS, JPM, or MS, with each giving 5 offers (several people got more than one). So, what I think is most important is going to the best school you can because I do believe it makes a difference in the eyes of bankers when they compare school vs. school. If it's down to you and a guy from a tier-2 school, all else being equal, you probably have a slight advantage going to a tier-1 school. As Mark Andreeson says, it's best to be a little fish in the best pond than a big fish in a little pond.
