Consulting Target Schools Superthread

Whilst I don't doubt that some firms will ALSO recruit where they have strong alumni connections, this will either be a small portion of their recruitment pool or it'll be office specific. My firm's Texas office often recruits at McCombs but I guarantee that anyone applying with an M7 MBA for the Texas office will still have a great chance of getting the job.

A list of this nature may be useful for people that are at a specific school and want to target a specific office (assuming this theory is correct). Even so, the advantage you would have over the "traditional target" applicants applying for the same office will at most be marginal.

Bottom line is, if you don't go to one of the "traditional" targets, you need to use other tactics such as networking than applying to the small office that recruits from that university.

With that being said, the potential targets are likely going to be geography specific so a list won't yield any true insights. MBBs in Denmark would likely have a big on-campus presence at CBS, the Austria offices would have strong presence at WU. I suspect it's the same in the US but by state.
