<p>Errr none? I say this for a few reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>No school has identical recruitment processes. We are EVERYWHERE at ZS Associates (a highly quantitative consulting firm), primarily bc it was founded by 2 NU Professors. We also are going to have more success at firms with a Chicago presence.
1A. At the same time, companies hire people, not schools. If MMSS does not have a good year, then Bain/Deloitte/Boston/LEK aren’t going to hire a NU kid because they think they are “supposed to”. Your GPA, ECS, work experience, and interview will get you a job. The Northwestern is good preparation, a foot in the door, and (if you get lucky in terms of who interviews you) a conversation starter in a job interview.</p></li>
<li><p>I have zero clue where Harvard Econ grads go. I will tell you that NU MMSS is as competitive as any school in the world. Think of it this way - take the power of the #12 school, #7 Econ Dept (were #7 in the rankings, right?) and throw in an “honors” element to it. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Aside from looking at where MMSS will take you and what jobs you can get, look at it this way: a NU MMSS degree means there is basically nothing you CAN’T do.</p>
<p>My albeit biased suggestion: apply to NU, get in, get in to MMS and then see how far you can go.</p>
