<p>goldenboy, I wonder how many of those 55 Engineering students at Penn are part of the Jerome Fisher program and benefited from their affiliation to Wharton. One quick look shows that 31 of those 55 are part of the Jerome Fisher program. </p>
<p>“There might be about 300-350 kids interested in total at places like Dartmouth and Duke which is similar to Ross.”</p>
<p>Are you honestly suggesting that only 20% of Duke students are interested in careers in consulting or finance? I would be shocked if it were lower than 35%. </p>
<p>I stand by my original statement. With the exception of HPS and perhaps MIT, Yale and Dartmouth, the number of students at most elite universities (including Duke and non-Wharton Penn) who secure jobs at major Consulting firms and IBanks vs the number of students who see such jobs is discouraging.</p>
