Tuck without a doubt. Culture, placement, experience, etc. Almost did choose it over M7..

I agree!

Agnostic of my career goals? Duke, Tuck, Darden. Would say Ross but traveling in and out of Ann Arbor isn’t really my cup of tea... Reason: General management recruiting is strong at Duke. Darden and Tuck offer good pathways to Finance and MBB.

This forum is filled with folks that think they can get into M7, T15 and most end up at T25 or T50

P1 I would say yes most B4+ end up T20 or higher because the ROI isn’t that good otherwise. For a lot of T25 schools the top firms that recruit are B4, so there’s not entirely a ton of incentive to do go when you already have those opportunities

Cornell.

Darden for the professors and curriculum, Anderson for location and finance/gen mgmt programs
