Consulting advice

Hi all hope you had a great week. I am wondering if someone can help me out with clarification.

I wish to apply for a consultant role, but am not sure about my chances as I still have some months of my MBA ahead (disadvantage?). Perhaps I should mention that I am on a non-target school.

Thanks in advance for your time and valuable info.

This is very difficult to determine without additional info. Are you referring to chances for "tier 1/tier 2" type consulting firms, or boutique consulting firms as well?
