Any differences in office size are pretty much counteracted by the number of spots available for that office. Bain also doesn't have a NJ office iirc.
You have a valid reason for why the NJ office (as opposed to people that might just try to game it for NYC) but networking with the LA office will likely be easier given your school, which might make it easier to get your foot in the door.
I do not think competitiveness of the recruiting process differs by office. Your decision should be based on location as opposed to competitiveness. Because if you can case, you can case. If you can't case- you can't case and won't get an offer.
Also, don't think that the NJ office is easier to get into because it's NJ. There are no 'prestigious' offices, and I've never seen someone use the NJ office as a back-door way to get into the NYC office. At my firm, a lot of people chose the NJ office over the NYC office due to the different industries the NJ office works in. Most NJ office people at both BCG & McK live in NYC and work in the NYC office anyways, so consider how you'd like living in NYC.
Exactly this. It's a bit tiresome seeing people dedicate so much time and energy into trying to find and game some perceived arbitrage in our recruiting system, without recognizing the bar they need to meet is absolute - not relative. And thinking you can start in an "easy" office and just switch into a "hard" office - even once you get in you've got to compete to get into the popular offices (NYC, London) except then your competition isn't just any Joe Average who could cobble together an application, but people who not only passed the interview rounds but have since built a strong track record at the firm (you need to be a top performer to even apply for transfer programs).
