Amazon.com Inc., AMZN +0.70% disrupter of industries from book selling to grocery shopping, has found its latest sector to upend—recruiting at the nation’s elite business schools.

The Seattle-based retail giant is now the top recruiter at the business schools of Carnegie Mellon University, Duke University and University of California, Berkeley. It is the biggest internship destination for first-year M.B.A.s at the University of Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College and Duke. Amazon took in more interns from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business than either Bain & Co. or McKinsey & Co., which were until recently among the school’s top hirers of interns, according to Madhav Rajan, Booth’s dean.

Amazon beats other companies with its scale. Bain and McKinsey ante they need to be a little special. Everyone cannot get into those companies.

Correct. Also, amazon's interview is more tech focused and mostly about Amazon's products and challenges. Relatively easy to get in if you are tech savvy.
