MPA good for consulting?
So lets say you are not in a target or for whatever reason you didn't get any consulting MBB offers when you graduated you have the financial ability to pursue another degree but you don't want to pursue an MBA yet since you want to get into a reputable program later on if you decided you are going for an MBA would a masters in public administration help you get a consulting job if you applied to a firm, and i think it teaches you about management, analysis and managing resources and strategy etc, would this help at all?
or there are better choices? or what do you think about this
I don't even know what you said because all I could think about is how long that sentence is.
holy shit

No, it's not grammar nazism. You sound like a retard who can't write in coherent english.
To answer your question, going to a public policy program with hopes of getting into MBB consulting (or strategy consulting in general) is a very bad idea. Those firms recruit MBAs and also Phd's, and it will be tough to even get interviews coming out of policy programs. For government or nonprofit consulting, however, you could probably make it work.
It's far more than that, guy.
No.... It's not grammar nazism.
It's being unable to understand what you're saying.

I love criticism, seriously I want to thank all of you so much, as I learned today that I should improve my writing. really love you guys (no, its not sarcasm)
UT MPA --> MBB (Originally Posted: 06/21/2015)
Hi all, I will be starting the MPA program in the Fall at UT- Austin and was wondering if anyone knew how the placement into MBB is or if it is even possible. Any insight is much appreciated!
Yes it is of course possible. MBB hire people from pretty much every major. The question will be "why are you getting a MPA if you want to do consulting?" You might struggle to overcome that one. I'm actually curious why you went the MPP route if you're interested in doing consulting.
models_and_bottles Non-target undergraduate + average GPA. I was thinking the MPA would give me one more shot at recruitment and it's the number one national program. Could be wrong on this assumption.
I think you have a shot but you'll have to ace the consulting interviews and have a good answer to the question I posed. McCombs does an excellent job of prepping candidates for consulting interviews if you're willing to put in the work. You should have a backup plan though in case MBB doesn't work out; for example, you might consider going to work for Deloitte or E&Y consulting.
