Hey guys -- apologize if this is a semi toolish 'which is better' type of question to ask but was curious to if anyone could chip in, be it from your own personal experience with your firms hiring from these schools or friends of yours at these schools. I've been admitted to both Fuqua and YSOM and trying to make the decision between the two -- I know that Duke is definitely more well known as a more consulting focused school and has recently been branded a target for MBB. However, is this only for DC/Dallas/Atlanta and not really so much for NYC offices or do some Fuquans make their way up to NYC each year? Does Yale mainly target Stamford and NYC offices -- I've heard Bain and BCG are the more 'core' recruiters but they still do not take many from YSOM. If I'm interested in top consulting firms, should I solely consider Fuqua out of these two? Thanks!

I'm guessing (and hoping) you've seen these, thought I'd throw them up just in case.

If it is for the South it is a no brainer: Fuqua.
I am going right now to Fuqua and we have a large contingent in these cities you listed. There are other things you need to factor, but I will assume that you did your homework.
