[quote=Anonymous]The short answer is that Fortune 100 / C-suite clients want to feel like they are getting the “best and the brightest” for what they are paying. The unspoken reason is polish and presence. Consulting is a client-facing job and college grads that come from privileged backgrounds or have gone through the 4 year “interacting with rich people” boot camp are a better fit for the culture of most consulting companies. Entry level consulting with a big name brand company is like Pharma Sales for smarter and slightly less attractive people. The practical reason is the curriculum. My spouse went to an Ivy and I didn’t, but we had the same major. His non-core classes and experiences were different and more suited to client facing work. My school encouraged us to participate in competitions where we built things with our hands. My spouse was taught how to make a research poster and present it at conferences. [/quote]
