UT Austin Business Honors+ Finance VS. Michigan Ross Direct Admit
I got into UT BHP and if I go there will do a double major in Finance. I also got Ross direct admit. Which is a better option? I am planning to go into Management consulting or IB. Cost is the same for both schools Any input will greatly help! Thank you.
easy, ross unless u want austin weather
Any particular reason you'd say that?
Ross. Not close
I actually think it’s close enough that other factors are the deciding ones. If you absolutely have to be in Texas when you graduate, definitely go UT. If you prefer NY or Chicago, Michigan would be better.
There must be something about the schools you prefer other than banking opportunities.....right????
Right that makes sense. I dont really think the place matters as much. If I get a good job with a great salary, thats pretty much good for me. I feel like Ross has a better national presence, but BHP is really good in UT. What do you think?
You mean the asses? ........
UT BHP is basically top 10% of McCombs undergrad. MBB and all the top banks recruit at Texas and often times, they exclusively target BHP students which gives you a tremendous advantage over the rest of the business school. Ross is great but direct admit or not, you will still have to fight everyone else to get on the closed lists. If all the peripheral factors are equal, I'd choose UT BHP.
I get what you're saying but isnt it difficult to compete among all the BHP students as well?
Sure but it is a lot easier to compete for closed interview list spots against 120 students than 650 students. As someone has already mentioned, geography is probably the biggest differentiator here as Ross was have better placement in the midwest and BHP McCombs in the Southwest.
I'd also echo what consultingmonkey is saying, former UT grad here (non BHP). BHP is a great program with great placement, they for the most part get the jobs they want whether it be in Texas or SF or NYC. I'd agree Ross>McCombs for banking but BHP definitely evens things out and the decisions should come to other factors such as fit, culture, and what you're looking for in a college experience (college town vs. Austin).
Remove your name from the site/pick an alias
BHP kids tend to place in the single digits at tier 1 firms and they get preference in terms of recruiting for both NY and Houston. But Ross kills at NY placement as their alumni network is powerful.
PM me, I can probably shed more light as I've dealt with a similar situation and came from a similar background as yours
Alright thanks!
I'd recommend Michigan. Ross gets OCR for basically every reputable bank in NY plus MBB and all the top boutique consulting firms, and if you don't find what you want in OCR then you can find Michigan alumni at almost every firm in those industries
You could substitute McCombs in your post and it would be every bit as true.
Nope UT MBA alums are slightly out of Top MBA leagues. Slightly.
Current Ross freshman if you have any questions feel free to ask. It's a fun place to be with a great culture. With that said I'm sure you can say the same about UT.
Not so simple BHP at UT is pretty elite and has comparable placement across Texas and the Southeast. I think it depends on what kind of college experience you want and where you'd like to end up. College town vs unique city, midwest vs. south, warm weather vs cold
