Transfer student from NYS and I'm trying to break into consulting after undergrad. I've been accepted into other schools, but for the sake of affordability right now I'm considering a SUNY. I've gotten into SUNY Binghamton, Albany, UB, and Stonybrook. Which of these would position me best for consulting? Not looking to get into BO accounting/finance. And I know they're all non-targets but I still need the best option.

Binghamton would be your best bet for consulting, as there's a large Big 4 presence on campus. Feel free to PM me if you have any particular questions about Bing.
What type of consulting? I know bing has some people in risk consulting (and of course lots of accounting). Do a search on linkedin by school/company and you should have a good idea of where people end up.
But think you're gonna have to hustle and network tons if you end up going the SUNY route
I'm interested in management/strategy consulting. Not necessarily going for MBB though.
Yes I'm definitely going to need to network a lot, which I don't mind as long as I have a shot. And if not in consulting, hopefully a similar field that will lead to it.
"Not necessarily MBB"? Honestly, not only will MBB not hire out of SUNY schools, neither will second-tier consulting firms Deloitte-Monitor, LEK, Strategy&, Parthenon-EY, and not even third tier Accenture, EY, PwC, or KPMG.
SUNY Harvard
How are you high school grades and SAT?If they are good, going to a top school is worth the debt.
They weren't so good. Had some personal problems during high school. I have a 3.6/3.7 where I am right now. I got in to some pretty decent schools but they were non-targets and got waitlisted at a target/semi-target (think Emory, UMich, UV). I'm going to retake the SATs though, even though I heard it's a waste of time to do it in college. But I haven't taken the GMAT yet and a good SAT score can help with internships depending on where I apply.
Everyone has personal issues in HS man. Don't lead with that shit.

LMAO!!
Binghamton, as a function of being the most reputable SUNY school.
Georgetown is worth the debt load. If you want to do consulting, and that is something that is non-compliance related it's important to go to a reputable school like Georgetown. All else, if you really can't afford it SUNY Syracuse and Bing are your best options.
I attended SUNY Stony Brook my fresh and soph years and transferred to a private business school and I would advise you not to attend Stony if you want to pursue consulting.
Binghamton has very good exchange programs too - you can go on any SUNY programs or even establish your own connection and go beyond that. If you want good internships, I'd definitely recommend choosing a school with better location(firms show up on campus all the time, instead of upstate NY where it's a pain to get to/out of)
If you are thinking SUNY, I would personally go with Binghamton. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about SUNY's I know a solid amount about them.
I recommend Stony Brook - two of my fraternity brothers got into PwC (financial advisory) and KPMG (audit), I broke into IBD, and we graduated class of '15.
Become active in campus life so that you create a name for yourself and take full use of professors/career center, that is how we did it.
Any questions? PM me
