i know some have been asking about MBB recruiting for grad students. Here is an e-mail I got recently detailing a combined on-campus recruiting event for two targets. I know friends personally who are at MBB with Non-MBA master's degrees or Ph.D.s that were contacted by recruiters. This is to show they do indeed actively recruit non-MBA masters students for those curious.:

Could you advise what are the targets US schools for MBB except Ivy and Stanford?
Not all ivies get recruited. Cornell, loosely defined as an ivy in general, definitely does not. Duke, Northwestern, Berkeley, UVa do get recruited.
http://www.mckinsey.com/Careers/Apply/University_recruiting
Go to that link and see if there are presentation and interview events for schools in question, not just a submittal deadline.
You do realize that "ivy" is a colloquialism and is loosely defined in general right? In actuality, the Ivy League is an athletic conference, of which Cornell is a member; that's it. Don't see what's so nebulous about their status in that regard. Maybe I'm missing something though.
It's nebulous for Cornell only as parts of it are state funded. it's bad enough trying to get recruited for MBB coming out of Arts and Science at Cornell. Try getting recruited coming out of CALS. More importantly however, Ivy means something else in the world of MBB recruiting (just like how high schoolers might label Stanford an ivy). Based on recruiting, It refers to to all actual ivy league members minus Cornell.
So non-MBA Master's students come in as associates rather than analysts?
From the McKinsey website: How do consultants with master’s degrees fit in at McKinsey? Where would I start?
Consultants with master’s degrees represent a broad spectrum of experience. Your role upon beginning your career at McKinsey depends on your academic and professional background. Generally, if you earned an undergraduate degree fewer than four years ago, you’ll be considered for a business analyst position; if you earned your undergraduate degree more than four years ago, you’ll be considered for an associate position.
i recently accepted an offer for BCG. Based on my experience and others, no, you do not start off as an associate (consultant in BCG). In general, you start off as an associate if you have work experience, a top MBA, or a top Ph.D. I did get 25k more than a starting undergrad in basepay, however. Besides banal advice to nail your cases, make sure to sell yourself too. If you have a nationally competitive graduate fellowship, a university wide competitive graduate fellowship, top test scores, or anything else to buttress your perceived value, do advertise it. In my case, they were impressed by my fellowships and publications.
