“Last I checked, the proportion was heavily in favor of Wharton, especially for top IB and M/B/B. May I ask where you got this ‘same percentage’ information from?”

Bahamutscale, here are the full-time placement stats from last year’s classs (Wharton 620, Ross 350):

Citigroup
Ross 7, Wharton 38

Credit Suisse
Ross 14, Wharton 10

DeutscheBank
Ross 7, Wharton 17

Goldman Sachs
Ross 9, Wharton 27

JP Morgan
Ross 12, Wharton 18

Lazard
Ross 1, Wharton 2

Lehman Brothers
Ross 4, Wharton 13

Merrill Lynch
Ross 3, Wharton 11

Morgan Stanley
Ross 5, Wharton 19

UBS
Ross 10, Wharton 11

Bain Consulting
Ross 1, Wharton 6

BCG
Ross 1, Wharton 8

Booz Allen
Ross 1, Wharton 2

McKinsey
Ross 5, Wharton 19

Total:
Ross 80/350 (23%), Wharton 201/620 (32%)

Like I said, Wharton is the best, but the gap is not as great as you suggest.

“More importantly, however, is the fact that the statistics I posted for Wharton comes from ONLY ONE CLASS YEAR while the statistics I posted for Ross comes from THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.”

Michigan only had two classes in 2005-2006 (Juniors and Seniors). So the intern class at Ross was for just one class anyway.

“Additionally, many of the Wharton students land their jobs in key financial locations, especially NYC. Ross tend to send kids to Chicago and other branches of companies.”

42% of Ross graduates work in the Northeast, most of them on Wall Street, so I suggest you look into the facts before making incorrect statements.
