Hey there. This is an interesting question—let me try to help you understand how it works. There are actually TWO issues here: the first, is the alumni network. Of course in this case, the bigger the better. So if there are 50,000 people who have volunteered to help graduates, this is better than if there are 500. The bigger the alumni network the better. But! On the other hand, if you have a class of 900 students with whom you are competing with jobs, that will make it a bit HARDER. Let me give you a specific example—HBS is known for general management. And when I went to HBS (Class of 2005) when McKinsey came recruiting, EVERYONE wanted to get that job! So it was VERY competitive—900 resumes competing for 30 slots. If I had gone to Stanford instead, for example, there would have been 300 resumes submitted instead, for the SAME 30 slots. See the difference? So there is a trade off here. If you intend to get your job through on-campus recruiting, a smaller school has a slight advantage. But if you intend to get a job through the alumni network, then the bigger the network the better. I hope this makes sense—feel free to reach out if you have any more questions! J
