I have offers from 2 of the 3 in MBB, and trying to make my final decision. I'm leaning one way, but I'm trying to cover all of my bases. If I have some of the "checked boxes" (i.e. 750+ GMAT, 3.8 from a Top 15 school, decent extracurriculars/leadership), would going to any of the 3 in MBB make much of a difference for b-school admission? I'm thinking Harvard, Wharton, Sloan, or Tuck, if that matters.

Do I have a shot at West Chester County Community?
I don't know, that's why I'm asking. I'm 21, this is my first job, and I got rejected from HBS 2+2 with those grades and scores. And I don't know whether the McKinsey name is really that much better for b-school, or if the difference is so marginal that it doesn't matter. Again, that's why I asked.
Sorry for being a dick then. I'm not in consulting so I'm probably not the best for answering. From people I have talked to they are on the same level, so I would go to the one you're favoring. There are some valid opinions/advice on this board, but at the end of the day you have to live and work in it.
I would go either McKinsey or Bain (McK has better overall reputation but Bain probably has a higher chance of getting into PE).
It amazes me how people with these sort of job offers ask these dumb questions.
Honestly its not really a question. The reason you were probably denied from "2+2" is because they try to get people from non-traditional (aka non-finance) programs. Everything you said (GPA, etc.) is really good and overall McKinsey is a huge feeder into HBS. lol at a BCG presentation at my school they showed: Normal Harvard Business School Admission Rate: 12%, BCG HBS acceptance rate: 70%. Trust me, you won't have a problem. You do need to think about what you want to do after consulting, if PE is what you want- Bain is probably your best bet just because of Bain Capital. Look at high level executives in industry: a lot are from McKinsey. Every one of the M/B/B is great for b-school. Don't worry, look at what you want to do after- PE=Bain, anything else = McKinsey to me. But its your decision, think about the groups
70% from BCG get into HBS???
I highly doubt that...
Also have a lot of friends doing 2+2 who did finance internships (banking, etc)
It really doesn't matter which of the three you work at. Bain probably has the most "fun" culture though.
