Won't make a difference. Both very strong.

Higher number at Darden shoot for MBB so may be more potential people to case with, but that's marginal and will make little difference.

And both place well across regions, though SOM may have more alums in NY/Tristate and Boston, while Darden will have more in DC/Atlanta/Texas. But either can get you anywhere in North America.

Congrats on both acceptances!

I’d also concur that students at SOM are also very interested in consulting, given the 46% who went into consulting this year.

Darden has established its brand and continues to be known for consulting given case method touting MBB, but it still places students at over 20 consulting firms (not just MBB), and has included Accenture, Deloitte, and EY in its top 10 employers.

BCG 2, when were you recruiting?
Does BCG still allocate a certain number of interview slots by school today?
From interviews, did you see trends in % conversion to interns or is it relatively the same across schools?

Darden has really good MBB placements.

I know type of case work factors heavily into opportunities but how much does the MBB name really open? Is that name recognition worth leveling down to grind for another few years?
