thanks for those stats.
As many have pointed out, McKinsey kinda has the same filter as HBS so it is not a super surprise. Altho I agree 115 is a lot.
Sandy -
I read your posts religiously while applying and found it very, very helpful. Thanks for all you do.
I’m currently a first year at HBS and as an FYI to all the consultants out there hoping to get in, in the class of 2011, there are actually 115 people who previously worked at McKinsey. This includes people who had internships there or who did 2 years and then went somewhere else, but it is an enormous / ridiculous number when you consider that the whole class is just ~945. More than 10% of the class comes from a single company.
Also 61 from Goldman, 58 from Bain, 59 from BCG.
