Want To Get Into Management Consulting...At A Non-Target

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>So I've decided that MC rather than i-banking/commercial banking is more my thing, and I really want to get into that industry. I'm not just talking about MC at MBB, but I'd be happy with a solid second-tier firm such as AT Kearney, Oliver Wyman, Capgemini, or a decent boutique (i.e. doesn't have to be LEK, Parthenon, Kurt Salmons or something that high-level as long as it can get me into a top MBA). My question is, since I'm not limiting myself to MBB, is it still possible to get into those firms from a non-target and a finance major, econ minor?</p>

<p>Furthermore, if I don't get in for whatever reason from undergrad, what kind of experience do you think is helpful for getting into a top MBA and then leveraging myself into consulting later on? Would something like corporate finance or commercial banking be better experience? Is there some other field that I should look at?</p>

<p>Hi,
What were your grades in undergrad? You’ll need at least a 3.7+ GPA</p>

<p>Did you involved yourself with extraciricular activity, such as taking on leadership roles? </p>

<p>In addition, have you done any summer internships? </p>

<p>Those are the things that might help you get in. </p>

<p>Not to mention, contacting your school’s alumni.</p>
