uMichigan Ross or Smeal Penn State

I’m currently at Penn State as a freshman. I’m heavily contemplating making the jump from what I’ve seen data wise, Ross kids have a much stronger presence at BB firms. Anyone on here that has gone to Ross or know alumni at your firm? It’s marginally more expensive, but not by much. I want the best possible chance to break into the field and secure an internship

How the heck is it similar in price? Ross was expensive as hell last time I checked.

 

Currently at Michigan non Ross, landed top EB (CVP/PJT/EVR). Ross will have a larger presence compared to Penn State and it's definitely a no brainer if it's not expensive for you. However if you want to transfer it might be much harder to transfer directly into Ross compared to transferring to LSA.

 

If you can get into the right circles at PSU, you will get an internship. Idk about uMich.
