<p>How hard is it to get a consulting internship at the big 3 (McKinsey, BCG, Bain)?</p>
<p>To give you an idea of my stats:
- GPA is sucky (sub 3.5)
- About as good work experience you could have (w/o interning with one of the companies mentioned)
- About as good EC/leadership as you could have
- Close family friend is high up in one of these firms. I know several lower level guys, too.
- School is HYPSM</p>
<p>Weakness: GPA
Strength: Most else
Luck: Helpful contact</p>
<p>What kind of shot do I have? I'm most interested in just making the round 1 interview.</p>
