Duke Fuqua vs Georgetown McDonough vs Michigan Ross?

Is Duke Fuqua, Georgetown McDonough or Michigan Ross better for LMM and MM PE/PE consulting opportunities?

Which school has better ties to the PE industry or MBB consulting - maybe more recruiting events, better clubs and extracurriculars?



 

Assuming you are meaning for MBA (based on Fuqua; the others have undergrad business programs).

None of those programs are strong for post-MBA PE. You might have a chance from Fuqua or Ross if you worked on the buyside before, but not otherwise. And by have a chance, super tough process. McDonough is a non-factor. 

In terms of MBB, both Fuqua and Ross could work. Definitely not the same opportunities as higher ranked schools, but it is possible. They are likely pretty equal. Fuqua is better for southern offices, Ross better for Midwest, neither are strong for the Northeast offices (you need Wharton/HBS/Sloan/Tuck/CBS/Stern for that region).
