[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many kids from my circle ended up in McKinsey, IBM, medical schools etc even though they were mediocre students and attended mediocre local colleges. They did have connected parents who hooked them up with top internships. Going to a top school is important for students with no connections in their intended fields specially if non STEM majors.[/quote] I love how you throw in McKinsey with IBM. I highly doubt any mediocre students from mediocre colleges ended up at McKinsey, or at least work at McKinsey in a client-facing role. McKinsey is a large enough company that they have plenty of back-office staff these days. McKinsey hires consultants from lots of schools, although they are generally all Top 50...and probably 80% of new hires are from the Top 10.[/quote] Friend of mine's son went to UGA (not a mediocre school IMO) and didn't get a response from any of the big consulting firms.
