GPA cutoff for consulting summer internship?
Hi everyone:
I was wondering if I can get some help with a question regarding GPA. I'm a college junior in one of the HYPS schools trying to land a consulting summer internship with McKinsey, Bain, or BCG. My gpa this year isn't that good due to hard classes. I have a 3.67 cumulative GPA and I'm majoring in Math and Economics. I have decent EC but I didn't do lots of networking in the past semester at recruitment events.
I know it's a tough economy so i'm a little worried about my chances... Do you think a 3.67 (out of 4) is high enough to land me a 1st round interview at those 3 places?
Thank you for your time!
As long as your resume is not garbage, you should be able to land an interview no problem. I say this because you are also majoring in math. Math+Econ 3.67 > Business or Econ 3.8
I attend one of HYPS, and my experience with MBB is that McKinsey tends to be noticeably more selective when choosing their interviewees (this is even more true for full-time recruiting; McK only interviewed ~35 people and Bain and BCG interviewed ~80 people for full-time). I had a > 3.9 majoring in a mathematical discipline with pretty good EC's (but no good internship experiences and not much networking) - didn't receive an interview from McK but received interviews from Bain and BCG for summer internship recruiting.
wow are you serious? that's crazy....
