Controversial

A quick LinkedIn "incoming" search shows:

FT: 2 McK, 6 Bain, 2 BCG Summer: 2 Bain, 3 BCG Another ~5 going to top T2s

Only 1 lists a diversity program and the rest seem pretty damn white/ORM. That's 10 kids heading to MBB, not 3-5.

Also, to the user who posted about "1-2% of IU Kelley consultants landing at MBB". I'd think about the drivers behind the denominator in that percentage. Big 4 advisory farms their incoming classes out of IU + other regional B1Gs.

These numbers are straight up wrong for MBB placement, as much as Bain is more willing to hire from nontargets....there are not 10 kids a year, there are maybe 10 kids total from Kelley currently working at MBB

Chicago is one of the top offices for all of MBB so if that's the local office for IU, you guys are getting screwed by it being more competitive than St. Louis or something

Also, your calculations are just so misleading. Any school would have a very high placement rate if you filtered out the clueless or incompetent people...

It's so strange to see the lengths Kelley kids will go to make their school look elite. Kelley accepts like 40% of all kids, and IU accepts like 75%. MBB is so elitist... obviously IU is not a target for them
