Best Schools for MBB and Tier 2 Consulting -- Need Insight

Hi everyone,

I had a younger friend ask me about her options for good schools in consulting. Mostly focused on MBB however, willing to hear feedback on Tier 2 as well.

If there is already a comprehensive list, that'd be great but I couldn't find anything substantial. I'm not sure of the IB "target" ranking system applies to MBB consulting as well but I wanted to get some more insight on the issue. Anyway, she was considering top ivies and top public schools so use that as a reference point. Ideally working in NYC.

Thank you in advance.
