<p>Title says it all. This question is for a friend; she's currently a college junior, looking to go into business. Consulting would be ideal, but what can she do NOW to prepare for recruitment season in the fall? She's majoring in a (non-econ) social science, with very little coursework in econ/stats/math. Not sure how feasible a summer business internship is, as she already has one that pays really well lined up at hear current job in a different sector. She has a ton of experience in government (relatively speaking, for her age), but no econ background. She does have a very high GPA from a top-tier school though, and some research experience in applied economics, so hopefully those will help.</p>
<p>Anyway, any advice on what her next step should be would be great. Please only speak either from personal experience, or if you're sure you know what you're talking about :) Additionally, any advice as to what businesses (consulting firms or otherwise) might be more lenient on non-business majors would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
