Which MBA programs offer you the highest possibility to break into consulting?

• Which MBA programs have the strongest recruiting on top consulting firms, McKinsey, Bain and BCG (MBB)?
• Which MBA programs have the largest alumni network within consulting?
  
  The employment reports published by MBA programs are a fantastic place to begin to find out about the overall number of seeking advice from positionings or to view lists of "top employers." However, you'll likewise desire a breakdown of positioning results by company, or by career changers vs. returning/sponsored trainees, to understand the complete story of each MBA program's profession positioning accomplishments.

  Because these metrics are vital to comprehend how the reputation, network, and historic post-MBA positionings of various business schools can help you attain your profession goals, a new sort of employment report is called for-one that breaks down post-MBA consulting information on a granular level.
  
  For the very first time ever, in-depth analysis of post-MBA consulting positionings is offered through Menlo Coaching's research study group. We have actually analyzed 51,991 student profiles (and counting ...) to offer you valuable insights about each MBA program's task positioning history in management consulting, with information grouped by:
  
  - Management consulting firm (split into MBB vs. other).
• "New" vs. "returning" (sponsored) offers.
• As an overall number of trainees and as a % of the student body (so you can accurately compare bigger and smaller MBA programs on an apples-to-apples basis)
  
  And the patterns our report exposes might shock you!
  
  For example, the MBA programs with the very best positioning in the management consulting industry are not HBS, Stanford and Wharton.
  
  Furthermore, a number of MBA programs not traditionally seen as regular feeders to MBB have been quickly increasing their placements at those firms (by as much as 155% over the last two years).
  
  For more details on how we compiled our information and how you can best use the info in your research into top MBA programs in the US and abroad, see the approach section.
  
  Unless otherwise mentioned, all information in the following sections describes 2020 positionings.
  
  New Placements into MBB
  
  New Placements into MBB: Conclusions
  
  - INSEAD is the international leader in brand-new post-MBA placements into tasks at MBB.
  
  - In the US, University of Chicago Booth is # 1 and Northwestern Kellogg is # 2. This has been a close race, with a tie between the 2 schools in 2019, and a Kellogg success in 2018. (See more detail.)
  
  - Kellogg, Tuck and Booth are the leading three schools by % of the trainee body being put into MBB for the very first time, far ahead of the competition.
  
  - HBS and Stanford were # 1 and # 2 in terms of new MBB placements as a % of all brand-new consulting positionings. MIT Sloan was a strong # 3 on this metric, with 86% of all new consulting placements being at MBB specifically, which was greater than Wharton's 78%.
  
  Total Placements into MBB
  
  Total Placements into MBB: Conclusions
  
  - INSEAD is the global leader in total post-MBA placements into jobs at MBB.
  
  - HBS is the # 1 US MBA program, followed closely by Kellogg, Wharton, and Booth. The strength of HBS's general positioning at MBB partly shows the truth that HBS admits numerous sponsored MBB specialists. This is a strong efficiency by Kellogg and Booth considering that their class sizes are around 1/3 smaller sized than those of HBS and Wharton.
  
  - Several MBA programs not historically thought about to be target schools for MBB have actually shown incredible growth from 2018 to 2020. (See more information.) - NYU Stern increased by 40%.
• Cornell increased by 155.56%.
• UNC increased by 83.33%
  
  Total Consulting Placements: Conclusions

  - In the US, Kellogg and Booth are the # 1 and # 2 MBA programs by overall placement in the management consulting market, an excellent achievement thinking about that their class sizes are around 1/3 smaller sized than those of HBS and Wharton.
  
  - Tuck holds its own in overall consulting placements: in spite of lower raw totals since of its small class size, it is # 2 amongst leading MBA programs for sending the greatest percentage of the student body into consulting tasks.
  
  Methodology
  
  For information on our general data gathering method, click here.
  
  In this report, we made one exception to the typical method and used data from INSEAD's main employment report. We did this due to the fact that of INSEAD's two-term structure (September entry and January entry). This implied that at the time we collected the information for the report, lots of management consulting job offers for January entry trainees (who graduate in December) were understood currently to the trainees and to INSEAD, and shown in the employment report, however the jobs had not yet begun and were for that reason not reflected in public information sources.
  
  This gives some advantage to INSEAD, because official work report information are nearly constantly higher than what's noticeable in public sources, but this does not change the conclusions. INSEAD had such a large lead that any realistic quote of the (public source vs. private source) distinction, which we evaluated for previous years, would still as the leader.
  
  We examined management consulting job placements for the graduating classes of 2018, 2019 and 2020 and calculated two primary metrics:
  
  Total Consulting Placements
  
  This is the variety of students whose very first full-time post-MBA jobs remain in the management consulting market, and it determines the strength of an MBA program's network in the industry.
  
  New Consulting Placements
  
  This is the number of trainees whose first full-time post-MBA tasks are in the management consulting industry, leaving out students who went back to their immediate pre-MBA company.
  
  For example, both of these would count as brand-new consulting positionings:
  
  - A student who worked pre-MBA at Cisco and post-MBA at Deloitte Consulting.
• A trainee who worked pre-MBA at Roland Berger and post-MBA at McKinsey
  
  This metric procedures an MBA program's ability to position career changers into the consulting market for the very first time, or to assist consulting professionals to change to a brand-new company.
  
  We measure the metrics in several methods:
  
  - As an overall variety of students.
• As a % of the trainee body.
• As a % of the overall consulting positionings
  
  For instance, if you need to know whether an offered MBA program is likely to have alumni within the consulting firms you wish to join, the overall number of students that MBA program places into consulting is the very best predictor.
  
  On the other hand, if you would like to know about your chances to break into the consulting market for the very first time, the % of the student body that joins consulting is a great sign. You wouldn't expect an MBA program of 300 students to place the exact same number of individuals into consulting as an MBA program with 900 trainees, would you?
  
  And lastly, MBB placements as a % of overall consulting positionings is a method to approximate the quality of an MBA program's consulting placements. For instance, an MBA program like Columbia has many students who select to recruit into financing instead of consulting. This lowers the MBB placements as an outright number and as a % of the trainee body, but ought to not be taken as a negative sign about Columbia's consulting profession chances. By computing MBB positionings out of overall consulting positionings, we avoid punishing Columbia for its strong finance recruitment portfolio and its many finance-focused students.
  
  Note on class sizes: where possible, class sizes are stemmed from employment reports. If employment reports are not available or finishing class sizes are not reported, figures reported at matriculation (in class profiles) are utilized.
