Sounds like everyone loves Northwestern
OW recruits a decent amount at northwestern as well
Mbb is focused on northwestern
OW across the board seems the most conservative with hiring from the very best schools. Just a brash generalization from my experience. I see BCGers from state schools but never OWers.
@KPMG1- As an alum, Rice is for sure a target school for MBB, OW, Deloitte, and Accenture but only for the Houston offices
I know a bunch from harvard, stanford and MIT
I think it depends on location of office that’s recruiting...
If Northeast, Harvard, MIT, Columbia...etc
If Midwest, UChicago, Northwestern, Notre Dame...
If West, Stanford, UCB...
I'm based in NY, I figured the ivies would have strong concentration throughout but I'm surprised no one has mentioned any of the other liberal arts colleges all over the Northeast (e.g. Williams, Wesleyan, etc..)
Theres a bunch from Williams
Accenture focuses on Northwestern, Uchicago, and a few other schools from what I’ve seen for our strategy practice. I’m from Chicago so for other offices ymmv
ATK NY is very focused on Penn, with some Columbia and NYU. Chicago is Michigan and Northwestern, SF is Stanford and UCB. Not a whole lot of other schools outside of those.
Deloitte loves Duke.
All very regional and based on what the partners in charge of an area like. Out west, for example, your state schools are much stronger - and the private schools more limited - as compared to the northeast. But at the end of the day, never underestimate the power of partners who have a preference for a specific school or program.
OW OP - it is interesting that firms do not recruit from those schools, Rice, Tulane, W&L, and other similar instructions.
Everyone recruits heavily at Northwestern. Each firm takes ~6 every year
That number is probably helped by the fact that banking recruiting isn’t as big of a focus at NU as it is at east coast schools (e.g., the bulge brackets and well-known boutiques all come to recruit, but each only take 1-2 per year)
As someone who went to a liberal arts college in the northeast- liberal arts colleges in general outside of Amherst/Williams and the Claremont colleges have extremely limited consulting recruiting. The talent pool is too small and the students usually aren’t as prepared and preprofessional as those at the ivies

OW has very limited amount of target schools though it is open to applicants from several more. It's regional but getting recruited by one office doesn't linit your options for placement. Northeast is ivies and MIT, Texas is Austin, and West is just Stanford.
