For some more data, here are those target schools sorted by median starting salary of alumni (click on the school on US News and scroll down to "Median starting salary of alumni").

4. Georgia Institute of Technology

21. Emory University
22. University of Chicago
23. Georgetown University
24. University of Texas at Austin
25. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill


Revised with the missing school
Northeastern is higher than schools like UVA, Emory, Georgetown, Northwestern, etc..
Overall ranking of Northeastern seems to be very underrated.



Do you have any basis for your claim that N'eastern should be higher ranked than the other named schools ?


Can you clarify your question?
Fact: Northeastern has higher starting salary via USN&WR than these schools, UVA, Emory, Georgetown, Northwestern, UNC, and Chicago

I said "Overall ranking of Northeastern seems to be very underrated"



Mid-Career Pay Per Payscale https://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report

UVA $131.7
Emory $125.8
Georgetown $141.7
Northwestern $128
UNC $104.3
Chicago $131.7
Northeastern $115.6




Payscale is self-reported income. Not verified or a random sample.


Well USNWR uses payscale as a source fwiw.

That doesn't change what Payscale is (or what USNWR is).

This PP is really grasping for straws. Northeastern is missing for a reason and does not belong on this list. Give it up.


Stand Down.

Northeastern was mistakenly omitted by OP, so it was corrected.

But how much does the school help with starting salary if you accept mostly rich people as students? Being rich with connections to other rich people can’t be overlooked.


Great point. Already rich people with connections skew the income data a lot.
A lot of the so called elite schools have big portion of these rich people.

Hence I trust the data from the Department of the Education the most.
https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/

The data is collected via IRS and loan servicing companies for students who had any sort of federal aid - grant, subsidized loan, etc.
So it covers most of the low to mid income real people, and eliminate much of the rich people effect.

10-year-out median earnings

Georgetown: $96,375
Northwestern: $80,033
Northeastern: $79,786
UVA: $77,048
UChicago: $76,730
Emory: $72,364
UNC: $61,915

got here from the management consulting firm thread.

My kid's roommate majored in CS and Business combined major at Northeastern, and got an offer from McKinsey.

If the school has a dedicated page when you enter its name in the box and click on the “[school name] - Undergraduate and Masters programs” link, it is a target school. If clicking on the link leads you to a generic “US Undergraduate & Masters” page (https://www.mckinsey.com/Careers/Students/Undergraduate-Degree-Candidates/Other-Schools), it goes to the "other" pile.

Here are the target schools:

Ivy Plus:
1. Princeton University
2. Harvard University
3. Yale University
4. University of Pennsylvania
5. Dartmouth College
6. Brown University
7. Cornell University
8. Columbia University and Barnard College

Public flagships:
1. University of California, Berkeley
2. University of Michigan
3. University of Virginia
4. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
5. University of Texas at Austin
6. Georgia Institute of Technology

Other privates:
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
2. Stanford University
3. University of Chicago
4. Duke University
5. Northwestern University
6. Vanderbilt University
7. Washington University in St. Louis
8. University of Notre Dame
9. Emory University
10. Georgetown University

It was interesting to see that all LACs (even Williams and Amherst) went to the "other pile."


No to Barnard.

Does anyone on this thread actually work for McKinsey?
I'd recommend actually looking at specific colleges career counseling to see if they have any alum who work at McKinsey and the like. You can also do a quick LinkedIn search.
FWIW, this is what I found when searching Swarthmore's career counseling website--McKinsey hosting a dozen or so Swatties in their Philly office. McKinsey consultants are not dummies (even if they might be evil)--they're going to hire kids from the top SLACs because they're smart, work hard, and know how to write: https://careercenter.swarthmore.edu/channels/consulting/

Rice and UCLA didn't make the list form T20.
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?


I think you got confused with UCLA/UCB?
They are the ones accepting ton of students from community colleges.
Like 30% of their incoming students are transfers and big portion from CCs.
