Okay, I'm getting really tired of these mindless nit-picking back and forth.
~20% is overall resume filtering rate, not only at top 5 schools.
Do you even know about McKinsey??s interview process this year? There were total of 7 interviews for an McK applicant this past recruiting cycle. 2 (1st round) 2 (2nd round) 3 (third round) with 1st and 2nd round on the same day. It did not matter if you were from HBS or Kellogg??they all went through the same interview process as the applicants from Cornell, NYU.
In the original post you said my 1% to 3% offer rate was off by factor of 10. Do some sanity check Mr. Consultant!! Does it make sense that 30% of top 5 MBA students get an offer from McKinsey?
Below formula is for overall applicant McK applicant pool, not from top 5.
Offer Rate = .2 x .4 x .4 x .4 = 1.3%
This topic of ??offer rate?? is exhaustively covered at previous posts. Read it up and don't bother me with it any more.

Now you're getting on my nerves.
You have absolutely ZERO clue to what you are talking about. There were only two rounds for MBA applicants (at least the top schools).
I have done a sanity check, and I know that the number of offers from top school are OVER FIFTY ON AVERAGE. I don't care if "it makes sense", those are the facts. As a consultant, you should be doing your due diligence and look up how many offers came from McK at each of the top five schools. And there is a big difference from "top 5" and "top 15" schools.
You do a sanity check. Fifty offers per school doesn't translate to a "1-3%" rate. And as I told you before, most everyone from a top school gets interviewed by McK if they so desire.
Shut your trap and stop mouthing off as if you have any clue to how the MBA process works. You said you interviewed only a few months ago, so you don't have the right or tenure to talk down to anyone else. You're only going off of "what you heard from the grapevines" and have no exposure to the process.
Stop putting a bad light on your firm. They were gracious enough to give you the benefit of the doubt.
