For example, if McKinsey Chicago decides they're targeting a class of 50 one year, do they reserve 10 spots for Northwestern kids, 10 spots for U-Chicago kids, etc. etc., with a few spots that float for nontargets and laterals? Or do these spots all float?
I'm seeing that there tends to be strong concentrations of particular schools in their local offices and I can't but wonder if there's factors beyond self-selection...is it that alumni play a large influence by pressing on the scale at offer decisions and strongly pushing for their alumni over other kids?
