MBA recruiting: Easier to get a consulting or investment banking position?

I'm curious if it's more difficult to land a consulting or investment banking position from a top 20 business school? I've been looking up statistics, and can't really find any, besides the fact that only 20,000 investment banking positions open annualy.

Do more people go for consulting or investment banking jobs during recruiting?

Thanks.

 

Right now it is harder to get consulting at my MBA business schools ">M7. Its mostly a function of numbers though - 100 people recruiting for IB with 200 recruiting for consulting - with about the same total number of jobs available for each.
