LinkedIn data on current Apple employees with MBAs to see which programs show up most often. The pattern is very different from Google or Amazon.

• Berkeley Haas leads by a wide margin. The Bay Area proximity plus Apple’s heavy product and ops focus seems to matter a lot.

• Kellogg is strong and sits right behind Haas, reinforcing its pipeline into big tech.

• Anderson and McCombs punch above their weight. Both show up far more at Apple than they do at consulting-heavy employers.

• Traditional M7 prestige matters less here. Wharton, Booth, CBS, and HBS all cluster around similar mid-range numbers.

• Stanford GSB is lower than expected despite being geographically closest to Apple.

• International programs are underrepresented overall. Apple’s MBA hiring appears much more US-centric than other FAANG companies.

• CEIBS shows up, likely reflecting Apple’s China-focused supply chain footprint.

Curious how others interpret this, especially people at Apple or with insight into their MBA hiring patterns.
