Most students admitted to Wharton for an MBA hail from a select set of companies. These companies are not mom and pop stores in Hoboken. Rather, it’s major consulting and finance firms. So who leads the list? McKinsey. One of the most – if not the most – self-selecting of the major consulting firms. And the MBA admissions process is indeed self-selecting. Schools like Wharton tend to admit Ivy League grads who landed great gigs working for firms like Bain, McKinsey, and Morgan Stanley. Let’s take a look at the “Poets & Quants” list of companies that serve as feeder companies to Wharton MBA admission. This MBA admission by company list was composed by John A.
