Hello all MBB friends - I saw in the bowl before that for McKinsey NY office, it is about 60% H/W, 20% CBS and 20% other schools. Is this also similar at BCG and Bain? So if post MBA goal is to work at MBB in NYC, I am guessing that CBS has a slight advantage compared to Booth as predominant portion of Booth grads will be recruited to work at Chicago office?

We don’t hold spots for each school or try to force a balance. Even with your logic, choosing CBS might not be in your benefit because if the CBS pool is more competitive than the “other” pool for that year, you’ll be at a worse spot. Don’t try to game the system IMO.

I’m from Philly and often a non-Penn candidate will have an advantage because we’re trying to diversify the office from a school standpoint.

STC- definitely a good question / good thinking and sorry if I came off the wrong way. The other thing to mention is that NY is extremely competitive probably across MBB but especially for McK. Stamford and NJ are a bit better but not really… still considered NY.

BCG NYC has lots of Wharton.

Don’t game it - truly doesn’t matter. But also I’ve seen a lot of NYU Stern / Darden / non-M7 people in my start class at McK NYO.

First round is usually within school, so regardless of which office, you are first evaluated as part of your program. Second round is office specific, and that’s when you need to be competitive amongst other school’s candidates. So yes, there’s no way of gaming the system. Happy to answer any questions via DM though, I went to a NYC MBA and was targeting Chicago office of BCG, and got in.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.
