Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into target schools for consulting, specifically for engineering majors:
MIT Sloan: Known for its strong engineering programs, MIT is a prime target for consulting firms, especially for those looking to recruit individuals with a technical background.
Berkeley Haas (MET + UG): The Management, Entrepreneurship, & Technology (MET) program at Berkeley combines business and engineering, making it a unique and highly targeted program for consulting firms.
Stanford: While not explicitly mentioned in the context for engineering, Stanford's overall prestige and strong engineering programs make it a likely target for consulting firms.
University of Michigan (UMich Ross - UG): The Ross School of Business offers undergraduate programs that are well-regarded, and the engineering programs at UMich are also highly respected, making it a good target for consulting firms.
These schools are known for their strong engineering and business programs, which are highly valued by consulting firms.

Would imagine Cornell would be a good idea.
Consulting firms don’t really care about major. If the school is a target school any major, including engineering, is fine. Target schools for MBBs and T2 are mostly elite private schools and top public schools. Most schools in Top 25 USNews rankings have good recruiting opportunities
I’d imagine tech consulting would want a related major or at least experience? Deloitte tech consulting only takes engineering majors from my school
