Advanced Degree Recruiting for T2 firms- interviews yet?

Hey everyone,

Just applied to a couple tier 2 firms for life sciences consulting as an advanced degree candidate (phd). Deadlines have been this week and last week, but I figure it would be nice to see if anyone else is applying and if you've heard anything about interviews. The only forums here have been most for MBB so far, hence the post.

Note- these applications are for the 2019 start dates.

this could also serve as just a post any questions, comments, concerns, or advice thread for other grad students looking to get into consulting.
