Business schools with high recruiting from management consulting firms

<p>I'm currently interning at Monitor, and I go to NYU's College of Arts and Sciences (econ major). The fact of the matter is that the top consulting firms want someone who they know can be a leader, have good people skills, and are obviously intelligent. Consulting is not as focused as i-banking on "target schools," it's really the individual that matters. </p>

<p>If you want to get into consulting, YOU MUST have extremely good networking skills. My network helped me land the job at Monitor, over kids from ivy's.</p>

<p>As for NYU-Stern, the guy who interviewed me told me that the top consulting firms very rarely recruit from there - I'm not sure exactly why that is, but I'd be happy to find out if anyone is interested.</p>

<p>Any other questions, let me know.</p>

<p>The reason is probably that Stern is so focused on finance that students show very little interest in consulting to begin with. A Stern guy told me that the school even tries to convince you to major in something else. Recruiters may not even bother trying when they know they will lose the top kids to the BB banks anyway.</p>

<p>Your point is logical, but I highly doubt that's the reason - a consulting firm would go to any good school to try and "lure" students into the field; that's part of what recruitment is all about.</p>

<p>Anyways, I'm going to work tomorrow so I'll find out.</p>

<p>university of maryland colleg epark gets offers from booz allen hamilton, accenture, and etc. i got a phone call from BAH, but I work at NASA instead. i'll prob o something related to finance next summer if i can get it.</p>

<p>who is Brown almost invisible on the consulting map? I thought one of the top guns at McKinsey was a Brown guy</p>

26

<p>BAH recruits Maryland kids mainly for the government (public sector) practice, not the commercial practice. It's an entirely different area.</p>

<p>Does any one know how useful pofriciency in french would be in a carreer in IB in the US?</p>

<p>A little over 25% of students from Claremont McKenna College go in to consulting. It's a small school but has a powerful and prestigious reputation in the business, finance, and consulting fields.</p>

29

<p>The tricky thing, however, is that consulting/business advisory can mean anything. It's hard to interpret stats that don't specify what kind.</p>

<p>Anyone aware of the list of Top Consulting and I Banking firms recruiting at CMC?</p>
