Nobody talks about how good Ross is for IB recruitment

I'm a rising junior at Ross and I just finished recruiting - landed an offer at a top EB (Moelis/Lazard/PJT/PWP). I'm in a top finance club on campus. I've noticed that this site doesn't really give Ross the credit it deserves. This year we sent multiple kids to every single top BB/EB, as well as a few people to Blackstone, Ares, and other PE firms. I've also noticed lot of people who got top offers aren't necessarily in 'top' clubs, and you don't even really need to be in a club to get a solid offer. Based on the sheer amount of kids that get offers at top firms (I would say at the very least 80 people got offers), Ross is definitely a major target school for a lot of banks. Curious to hear your thoughts about this.

Don’t want to say which one, but one of MII/GIC/MIBC/AIC. These are the best at Michigan but a lot of really sweaty kids lmao. Definitely apply to all of these tho if u wanna recruit

 

Sorry you didn't get the PJT offer man - let me know if you need help with college essays if you want to transfer and recruit from a target.

 

Not at Ross but had a friend there / people from my bank from there -

My take is it’s clear that top students at Ross land great jobs, but it’s a pretty big class (500 per year I think?) with the vast majority gunning for finance jobs. If 80 are landing IB/PE jobs and we assume 1/2 the class is going for those jobs, that’s not a great placement rate.

I think of it as similar to stern - great placements on an aggregate basis but a bit tougher when you look per capita.

Complete opposite of some ivies/LACs where only a small group is recruiting for IB so placement doesn’t look great but most people who recruit land something good

 

We get it, you got rejected by [insert Harvard, Wharton, Columbia, Stern, Dyson, UChicago, Yale, Princeton, any other tier 1 target] when you applied ED/EA and RD back in high school. Congrats on hustling out of ur ghetto low-target/high-semi target school and hanging with the big bois now chump. 

 

I got into Dartmouth and Cornell. Didn't apply to any of those schools because they're full of fucking nerds. While you spent your freshman and sophomore years of college jerking off to Rosenbaum and Pearl, I went out 3-4x a week, woke up at 6am for game days, and got laid probably more than u ever will. get a life geed
