That is a pretty good estimate and broken down in true consulting.
Just two more notes.
First, The numbers are different for summer internships and permanent hire offers. You can expect that the firms will make 1.5-2 times as many offers for permanent positions as they will for summer jobs.
Second, using the numbers from the last two years will throw your calculations out of wack for two reasons. One, the firms made more offers during the last two years to backfill consultants fleeing to dot coms (For example Harvard and Wharton both received between 80-100 McKinsey fulltime offers. I will not reveal how I know that or which school I attend because I do not want to start some dicussion of who is better). The recent summer hire season and the upcoming fall permanent hire season have been and will be more indicative of hiring practices of the three firms.
That said, and having just lived through the summer recruiting process here and having offers from those firms, I would drop that number to 25%-35%. |

...bottom line though, it is definitly neither 10% nor 70% as previously indicated. translated into a not-so-obvious message to those applying to H/W/S: admission does not even nearly guarantee you a job with M/B/B...it only guarantees you the chance to interview with them.
