Do MBBs hire from Semi-Targets
I am an incoming student at UCLA next year (hopefully COVID doesn't cancel fall quarter), and was wondering how easy it is to get MBB interviews assuming you are a top student (3.7+, strong ECs, etc, etc), does McKinsey, Bain and BCG heavily recruit at UCLA seen as it is the no 1 public school. Looking at Berkeley's placement rates they seem better, and they get more recruiting even though they are ranked no.2. Why is this? and one last thing, I heard UCLA econ is hard as classes are curved to a B- average, do recruiters know this sort of information?
Thanks!
Is this a joke? Nobody thinks UCLA is better than Berkeley no matter what US News says.
Anyway, UCLA and Berkeley both have some on campus presence from MBB, but I believe not all three firms recruit at Berkeley and they take less than 5-10 people per year (which is very few for a school of that size). UCLA has similar numbers I think.
For your school difficulty thing, resumes are typically screened by alum of the school so they will have context for your clubs and GPA.
I believe it is well known that UCLA and Berkeley are on a par
By not all three firms recruit, which ones do, and which ones dont?

This is a blog from one of the top students at Berkeley who landed a Bain offer. Only Bain recruits actively on campus at Berkeley. McKinsey and BCG do not.

That's not true at all.
Both have Berkeley-specific programs...

And BCG has *three Berkeley undergrad specialists listed on their website.
so if mckinsey does not target UCLA or CAL, what West Coast schools apart from Stanford do McKinsey recruit from?
Stanford is their main undergrad target in the west coast. Do remember that most of MBB recruiting is not undergrads. Also, they still take a few kids (probably up to 3 a year at most) from USC and UCLA for LA offices, and maybe 1 a year from Berkeley at most for SF.
