Ivy Plus (defined initially by economics professors at Harvard who were analyzing social inequality using the IRS Database) are the Ivy league schools, MIT, Stanford, U Chicago and Duke. Not Barnard.

NP. I think this is also a list for what schools have the most miserable student populations. Good schools to avoid.

It's the best path to a c-suite job at virtually any company.

Top school => MBB for a few years => T7 MBA program => C-suite path at a top company

If that's what you or your kid wants.


Lots of people fall off this path after the MBA.

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."


Lmao Barnard is NOT a target. Whoever made this list is lost and confused.


Columbia booster is big mad.

We would avoid hiring someone with these credentials.

Nestle is still the most evil company in the world as far as I'm concerned. Not many others knowingly killed babies


Pfizer, Moderna, etc.


Monsanto has to be in this list too.


Yes, farmers are trapped in an endless loop of buying roundup ready seeds year after year after year.

Did you advise them not to pay McKinsey because they gave bad advice? I mean, I’m assuming McKinsey did not run it by their own lawyers and they must have thought it was ok.

I hate what this area has become. Students aspiring to be MBB consultants instead of nonprofit workers. FinTech instead of medicine. BigLaw instead of ADAs or DoJ. I’m not even that old but I feel angry and resentful, missing the more innocent days of the nineties.


What really gets me is that they aren’t going to medical school, engineering, urban planning, PhD biology programs … I don’t care so much that they aren’t going to “do gooder” jobs, but they aren’t doing *anything* enriching to themselves (other than $$) or society. What a waste of brainpower and the privilege of a top college education.


If you don’t want students chasing money, then tell top schools to stop charging an outlandish fortune. Even after the schools supposedly “meet need” kids have a ton of debt. It is utterly unrealistic to saddle them with debt and then expect them to go do something “enriching” to themselves or society.

Where does it state ND is in the other category...what I have gleaned from this thread is that it is in the target category with a significantly higher starting salary. PP needs to get his eyes examined.
