If you ask a graduating M.B.A. student, a prep school guidance counselor or the internet how to be hired at the global consulting firm McKinsey, you’re likely to find a list of prestigious “target schools” where it has consistently aimed its recruiting efforts. You know the ones — Harvard, Yale, Stanford. But these days, McKinsey would prefer a different answer. “Exceptional can come from anywhere,” its career website says. “Elite” has never sat well with many American institutions, but the word has taken a particular beating in recent years.

Parents are paying consultants up to $750,000 to help get their kids into Ivy League colleges. The six-figure outlay to get their kids into college adds to the increasingly prohibitive cost of attending those institutions. Bloomberg reported that the cost of attending Ivy League schools — including tuition, accommodation, and fees — was pushing $90,000 a year, with four years of attendance potentially costing more than $300,000. Consultants told the outlet that the increasing exclusivity of Ivy League attendance may work as its own status symbol for some parents, encouraging a bigger outlay on preparation. While its generally accepted that Ivy League graduates have higher earning potential than their peers, it seems that Americans are increasingly discounting the value of having a college degree at all.
