McKinsey/BCG NJ vs NYC Office

Post above sums it up well. But as an alum of an MBB NJ office, here's my take:

1. While the NJ office may be ~slightly easier to get into, it's still the same interview process. Almost everyone in the NJ office would have been able to get an offer at the NYC office. They're all still top targets with great resumes.
2. However, NJ office may be slightly easier if you have ties to NJ or if you're interested in the specific industries covered by that office. A lot of people in the NJ office at my firm grew up in NJ, and the office does recruit a lot at schools that are closer to NJ (UPENN was the top feeder for my office, and they did accept a few Rutgers students every year). And if you have specific interest in Pharma (or whatever industry the office serves), it will give you a leg up. But be prepared for the 'why did you apply to NJ?' question.
3. Most people still live in NYC. The only people who lived in NJ (besides Hoboken/Jersey City) were those who were living at home to save money.  Most teams work out of the NYC office (or travel), so you don't have to worry about the commute to Summit/Newark.
