Fuqua vs. Ross for Consulting

Both are great schools and both sends lots of people to MBB and tier 2 every year. There might be arguments one way or another, but overall I think most people would agree they're in the same tier. I wouldn't make the choice here based on consulting placements, but rather where you think you would enjoy your 2 years more.

Fuqua ftw. It may also depend on where you want to work. IIRC, Duke has slightly better representation in NYC; Michigan in Chicago.

They're both going to give you a really good shot at MBB/Big 4 consulting. Personally, I would choose Michigan for the campus life and culture. Ann Arbor is an awesome, young, exciting city whereas my impression of Durham is that it's much more mundane.

Since you're going to have the same opportunities at both schools, you should figure out which city you would be happier living in for the next two years.

I'm a little surprised that some WSO types are saying Ross and Fuqua are roughly equal in reputation. I thought Duke was definitely higher in the rankings, especially since last year's BW poll http://poetsandquants.com/2014/11/11/duke-tops-2014-businessweek-rankin…

Go to admit weekend at both schools and ask current first and second year students what they would recommend. You'll get a much better feel after that.
