Top BB positions and semi-target MBA programs.
All,
I was never in need of an MBA, but now I'm thinking of applying. Obviously, it has to be worth the money. I graduated from a target non-ivy ugrad and went into a mid-level ibank.
Not sure what I want to do post-MBA, but let's assume I stick with what I now know best and attempt to go to a bulge or EB corp fin bank, hopefully to specialize in advisory and not u/w.
Now, the top 10 b-school programs are cut and dry - any school be it Booth, NW, Columbia, Tuck, Wharton, MIT, etc., would place student well into IB. However, given the unpredictability of the admissions process, suppose I end up with admittance to the programs ranked from 10-to-20. Specifically, I'm wondering about: UNC, Darden (I know there's a fat thread about them on the board, but still), Fuqua, Ross, Anderson and possibly Carnegie Mellon. I'm sure these programs place well into MMs and boutiques and maybe mid-level bulges, but what about top shops? Do any BBs like GS / MS even go to these campuses? Or have a certain preference for one of these schools?
Lastly, how many people have you seen in the top associate positions from some of these places?
Would appreciate the help.
mccombs gets all the BBs esp for O&G groups and also places some guys up in NYC BBs as well
Well the top 10 is not "cut and dry". The top 7 might be...but beyond that the only thing I would consider is geography ("beyond that" meaning the next 10 schools or so). B-school is far more regional than candidates want to acknowledge. Every bulge bracket bank and consulting firm (MBB) recruit at UVA, UT McCombs, Fuqua, Ross, etc. Not sure about Carnegie Mellon. Granted, they might be hiring for regional offices (Nat Res in Houston in McCombs' case) but they recruit nonethless. Find a school you like, do well, and you will be fine.
a lot of these schools have their placement statistics online
