BC vs Tufts
Which schools are better off in terms of consulting? If there are some alumni here, could please suggest any other reasons why I should attend either one? I'm extremely excited to attend either university with great liberal arts education and its location.
Went to BC - Carroll and pretty much anyone who wanted to into Consulting was able to including MBBs, Big 4, places like OW
BC alum - get good grades and you’ll get the interviews that your resume is appropriately worded for
Tufts alum here - there was so little support for anyone wanting to go into consulting, it's laughable. Place decently well into finance, but really horribly into consulting. People there are smart and driven, so there will be good folks to 'case' with, but when I was there (recent grad), no one really came to campus. I did surprisingly well networking, but really had to hustle to get the non-target interviews.
Happy to answer any follow ups. Also FWIW, I think Tufts is a great school. I'm now at an extremely desirable exit, and I think that the Tufts brand is a huge reason why I have this opportunity.
Hi, I know its been a while since you commented, but hoping you can offer some insight as I choose between Tufts and Wisco Madison for econ. Want to go into finance but leaning towards Wisco for the better student life (and I imagine it would be easier to transfer from to a target due to the grade inflation). I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much.
Recent Tufts alum here - the support for consulting has grown significantly over the past few years. Bain recruits directly from Tufts and has events on campus (although not many students have been able to land offers it seems). Other firms that recruit from Tufts directly are: EY-Parthenon SSG, Simon Kucher, Charles River Associates, Cornerstone, and multiple smaller boutiques. Beyond that, I had great luck networking as there are alums at nearly every desirable firm. If you have a good GPA and put in the work to network and prep, Tufts will set you up well for getting an offer at any firm. There are also multiple consulting clubs on campus to get involved with that will give you some good experience and guidance from upperclassmen.
Additionally, Tufts is just a great school all around, great people, campus, and location. For these reasons I would suggest Tufts, especially as the prestige of the university seems to be increasing every year as acceptance rates decline. Happy to answer any questions.
