Blast from the Past

Many times, people tie schools to a particular industry. If you attend Wharton or Booth, you’re probably a finance person. Kellogg? Say hello to the next crop of brand managers. Columbia and NYU…well, the big banks are just a cab ride away.

No doubt, reputation (and location) makes a difference. In business schools, stereotypes are the natural by-product of excellence. Make no mistake: If you’re talented and serious, recruiters will find you…even out in Gainesville, Madison, and Provo. That said, it’s still easier to get noticed in Cambridge, Palo Alto, and Durham.

Data doesn’t lie, even if it doesn’t always reveal context and variables. Last winter, Poets&Quants did some data crunching of our own. After combing through Linkedin, we produced a listing of where MBAs from the Top 25 schools work in the leading consulting and financial services firms.  In which bank does Texas McCombs outpoint Wharton? And which top consulting firm prefers Indiana Kelley over Harvard? Click on the links below to learn more.
