<p>I'm a student at UMD majoring in finance and accounting and am interested in becoming a management consultant. Is there any chance to get a job with firms such as BCG, McKinsey, or Bain coming from a school like UMD? If so what are they looking for (GPA, internships, EC's, etc) and if not, what kind of work experience/skills are they looking for?</p>
<p>4 things:</p>
<p>1) analytical thinking and intelligence</p>
<p>2) leadership</p>
<p>3) teamwork</p>
<p>4) ambition</p>
<p>if you can get these 4 things on your resume and have a GPA of 3.8+, i guarantee you you will get an interview with m/b/b</p>
<p>macsheesh if you are so sure about how to get a consulting interview, why do you have your own thread about you asking us how to get an interview?</p>
<p>take my advice or leave it</p>
<p>people who are actually dedicated to learning more about something will actually know more later on. And the 4 main factors I listed are not from me, but from wetfeet's guide to killer consulting resumes which i recommend.</p>
