A quick LinkedIn search shows that there are 372 Georgia Tech alums at McKinsey and only 85 Emory alums. The former's undergraduate program only has twice as many students as the latter's. Emory only has one dedicated recruiter; Georgia Tech has multiple: https://www.mckinsey.com/careers/students

The Emory boosters on here are trying to elevate a mediocre regional school above an international brand name. Once again, Duke's loser cousin.[/quote]
Emory has 572 grads at McKinsey. Not sure if you're doing the Linkedin search correctly, [b]but you need to add Emory College and Goiszueta to your search.[/b] And there's no need to Emory boost. Emory has better investment banking placement than any private school in the south outside of Duke. [b]Per capita[/b], Emory comes in at 24, and Gatech lands at 60 ( list at the bottom of the first link). Also, Gatech is a much bigger school; why wouldn't they have more recruiters? Also, you still didn't answer why Emory CS grads make more than Gatech CS grads. Gatech grads don't nearly make as much as its peer schools (CMU etc.), but Emory grads make the same amount as Vandy and Rice grads, and they have engineering Emory doesn't.

That would be double counting. I didn't do that for GT Scheller. Also, that Peakframeworks ranking is more so a reflection of the lack of interest in banking at GT, where students can go immediately to the buyside if sufficiently talented (quantitative hedge funds).[/quote]
You should add Scheller, as it's a more representative sample. Emory does not combine Emory and Goizueta on LinkedIn, so it's not double counting. And try harder than that, GT grads are not being recruited for private equity and asset management firms,ie buy-side, when they can't even land sell-side ie Investment banking. Let's not lie and be honest. [/quote]

Adding Scheller or Goizueta will also include MBA grads. We are just trying to compare undergraduate programs.

Additionally, most of the kids at GT who land MBB are from the Industrial Engineering major, not Scheller.[/quote]
You're proving PP's point. GT grads are being recruited to Mckinsey for engineering, IT roles, not consulting roles. Also most Emory grads would be recruited to Mckinsey from the Goizueta UNDERGRAD BBA program, which is not included in Emory College. [/quote]

Most BBA students will put their undergrad college as their college on LinkedIn, not the business school. People will only put the business school in cases where the business school has a better brand than the parent school (like Wharton, Stern, or Ross).

MBB is recruiting GT IE grads for consulting roles, not IT roles. Peak frameworks, which you just cited, has GT as the #20 MBB feeder while Emory is not on the list: https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/consulting-target-schools

If you read their methodology, they’re just looking at consulting roles. [/quote]
