<p>What are the lowest ranking schools top firms such as Bain, BCG, and McKinsey recruit from? I know they recruit from the ivy's but what other schools that are easier to get into do they recruit from?</p>
<p>What about the other 4, Deloitte, Booz & Company, PWC, and Monitor Group?</p>
<p>There are tons of great management consulting firms. Why are you limiting yourself to those 7?</p>
<p>Also, the inclusion of PWC </p>
<p>Have you looked at Oliver Wyman, LEK, Parthenon, AT Kearney,Marakon, Berger or even ZS I guess? I feel like they all have a better reputation than pwc if that’s all you care about.</p>
<p>As for getting a position from a lower ranked school, for MBB, you essentially need a 3.6-3.7 from a school like Cornell to even get an interview. I’m sure they recruit outside of the top schools, but you truly need to be at the absolute top of your class.</p>
<p>Go read the company websites. It lists the schools they recruit.</p>
<p>MBB hire from public schools, which is the easiest route for admissions. All three visit UNC, UVA, Michigan, GT, and Berkeley (among a few others).</p>
<p>Any chance to break into management consulting as an Accounting student at Baruch?</p>
<p>Nope, the entire industry consulting collectively made an agreement a few years back not to accept anyone who has even stepped foot on Baruch’s campus.</p>
<p>^^ It really put a damper on Baruch’s reputation.</p>
<p>Angryelf, I was more referring to the fact that I would be an Accounting student more so than the fact that I would be a Baruch student. I wasn’t sure what degrees are preferred. Sorry for the lack of clarity.</p>
<p>I was just giving some examples, I’m wondering about all good firms in general. So getting a good GPA in a non-top school is still acceptable?</p>
<p>

<p>No. To have any shot in management consulting, you need to attend a target school. The target schools include top schools, but not necessarily all are Ivy League schools. Some (a very small number mentioned above) top public schools are included.</p>
<p>If you attend a non-target, even if it’s a good school (let’s say Penn State), you have virtually no chance of getting hired at a management consulting firm unless you’re a Rhodes Scholar.</p>
<p>Accounting firms are a different beast because they hire more people, so they will go to non-top schools. However, the salaries and work are very different.</p>
<p>How is recruitment from schools like University of Washington, Santa Clara University, and maybe even University of British Columbia? (Canada)</p>
