Target schools for Consulting

Hi,

I was wondering what the target and semi-target schools for consulting firms (MBB preferably) were.

Are they generally the same as the target schools for IB jobs? I tried searching but didn't find anything specific for consulting.

I'm interested in knowing how recruiting is at liberal arts colleges. Do MBB recruit at Amherst?

Looks like only Bain does on campus stuff at Amherst among MBB:

http://www.joinbain.com/apply-to-bain/bain-on-your-campus/school_events… http://www.McKinsey.com/careers/apply/university_recruiting/schools/ba/other_schools (search for Amherst on the McK website and it leads you to this) http://www.BCG.com/join_bcg/oncampus/SchoolSearchResults.aspx?pageunavailable=Amherst%20College

The first post on this is a really great summary of what you can find on the MBB websites for whether an individual school is a target. The other commenters are ridiculous. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1206919-sc…-BCG-McKinsey.html

 

Thanks. I came across the College Confidential link but I wasn't sure how accurate that was, so I wanted to double check here.
