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.
