It's not a shocker when schools like BU WF BYU and Howard are there. Northeastern has a great business program. In fact not really a shocker for Howard actually. It's there for affirmative action. Does McKinsey has anything to do with Mormon? |

I don't know. I would assume Bain recruits there (Romney) so maybe that's why? |

NYU is top school for finance but not so much for consulting |

Interesting. The state flagships on here, as well as USC, accept transfers from community colleges in their respective states. How would doing that path affect McKinsey recruiting? |

They'll check your transcript and know you are a transfer student, but I don't think they would care as much as how you did at the school you are getting the degree from |

PSA to everyone on this thread: do not pressure your children to follow this path. Rounding to the nearest whole number, they have exactly a 0% chance of getting hired as a BA even if they attend a target school. Most hiring happens at the post-grad school level. This is not a path to plan around and youre going to make your children feel as if they’ve failed. Just stop. Let your adult children find their way. |

Process improvement and efficiency work are going to require far fewer people for the same reasons. Get the numbers and the vaunted decks will essentially build themselves! |

If they start talking about it as a huge goal, have them read When McKinsey Comes to Town or any of a number of articles about their "great" and "objective" work as non-decision makers.
Not only is it an unlikely goal, it is also a questionable one. Without the "doing good" part, you really might as well make more at Goldman. McKinsey doesn't shine on a CV quite like it used to when most on DCUM were coming out of college and grad school. |

Only for the partners. Otherwise, management consulting is a grind. There is a great documentary about McKinsey on Showtime called “House of Lies.” |

| They are looking for high achievers and not having a homogeneous group is becoming more and more important to consulting clients. To boil it down to AA or religion is a bad look for those posters and isn't correct. McKinsey basically always gives the client what they want. |

I read the book and I am now convinced that McK is the reason the US has declined so much in the past 50 years. Because of them we have seen the outsourcing and off-shoring of jobs, the wage gap grow, increased opioid usage, increased smoking (worldwide) and the list goes on and on. |

I'm not sure if the listed schools are actual targets.
Some of them are actually real targets, and some mayabe semi-targets. Nonetheless it's a good information. You get an idea which schools get respect, and not just from McKinsey, but from the industry as a whole. |
