<p>What is the lowest ranking b-school you can go to so that you can still get a decent job in consulting? I'm not necessarily asking to get recruited by McKinsey or w/e, but can you still get about 80k starting with oppurtunities to make around 150k (inc bonus) after 3-4 years without having to go to a T10 school?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>a school which isn't top 10 ugrad business?
go to villanova.</p>
<p>what? I was asking what is the lowest possible school you can go to, but still do well in consulting. The reason I ask is because I might be able to do T25-T30, but the T10 schools are schools I might not be cut out for, and it isnt reasonable to assume you will get into a school like that (but that doesn't mean you dont try), which is why I'm asking if you can still make a resonable career in consulting even if you dont get into HWS etc.</p>
<p>Are you talking about graduate school?</p>
<p>look at villanova's career placement website.</p>
<p>Consulting bonuses aren't that high. You most likely will not be making $150,000 in compensation as a first-year.</p>
<p>he said after 3-4 years</p>
<p>Oh, ic. I just read the part about 80k starting and 150k with bonus. But that will still be post-MBA. From a top 25-30, it's definitely possible to do consulting, just not necessarily M/B/B.</p>
<p>Good business schools in large cities are preferable.</p>
<p>Fordham (only ranked 38th) still gets good placements because of its NYC location. A school like Bentley (42nd) does okay because it is right outside of Boston. Georgetown gets good placements in Washington, D.C. So does Villanova (close to Philadelphia). For a school far from a major city, Virginia and Indiana do well--but then they rank about 8th and 11th nationally.</p>
<p>P.S. Consulting doesn't start at 80K unless you already have a MBA degree.</p>
