Of Chicago Booth’s class of 2019, 163 (33.7%) of graduates found employment in consulting. Of that, 48 (9.9%) were hired by McKinsey. It's clear from Chicago Booth's program offerings why McKinsey hires so many of its graduates. Chicago Booth offers five different management concentrations, all of which provide students opportunities to network within the consulting field and apply their classroom knowledge to real-world experiences, better preparing them for futures at McKinsey.

2. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University

Much like Chicago Booth, Kellogg places almost one-third (31%) of its graduates in consulting positions. McKinsey hired 28 graduates from the class of 2019. Lab courses prepare Kellogg students for their future careers with real-world consulting experiences. In these courses, students work in groups of four or five in order to provide recommendations to businesses, as well as nonprofit organizations and startups.
