Hi. I am not a current student at Stern/Darden so I don't have a lot of insider knowledge and there is a bit of a dynamics change happening. I did hear that the MBB's are going to the pre-Covid approach to recruiting and have their goals so to speak from each of the programs. However, from years of experience, I can say that School and Rank are not that influential in consulting recruiting. Your chances are fairly equal across the top 15. Your salary will also be the same regardless of which program you attended, so this is a very much an equalizer. Your chances will depend more on your interview skills, your presence, etc. There are some additional opportunities for certain under-represented backgrounds but in general, chances are equal.

In terms of career services are always sub-par. They are always under-funded and people expect too much.
One advice I heard for consulting recruiting is to pick the school based on the strength of the consulting club.

Just to add, any time you hear students complain about career services it is absolutely true but I am yet to hear about a great product that the majority of students would be happy with so it is somewhat of an elusive goal to find a solid career services school. Even if it is GOOD, it will be overused (because it is good), so it is almost impossible to win. Kind of like a really good restaurant. the food is great but it is hard to get a reservation and it is expensive, and so the search for that underdog continues but once the "amazing" hole-in the wall is discovered, it follows the same pattern of over-use.

Thank you so much, Good luck with others !
