McGill is a big name. McGill management is not. Bain and most BB banks don’t have OCR at McGill. BCG only started this year. Anyone applying for ibanking should know that OCR is a mega-super-duper-huge help when it comes to nailing an interview. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’ve seen people done it. But going to the three I mentioned will at least improve your chance of getting an interview. Whether you ace the interview or not does not depend on which college you go to.

Also OP, getting into consulting and IB have more to do with networking than your choice of college. One downside of McGill is that it’s located in Montreal, which is also a financially dead land in a financially dead province. All banks’ headquarters are in Toronto and it’s very hard to network with the decision makers there if you’re 6 hour drive away.
