JD Candidate with No Work Experience
Hi,
Basically my background is I have a middling GPA at a T-14 law school (just below 33% cutoff) with no work experience whatsoever. I
I am just wondering if applying as a "consultant" as if I am an undergrad could improve my chances of finding a consulting position. Yes, I understand that involves a tremendous pay cut but money is a secondary concern to me and having a job I actually like is far more important to me.
I am also wondering if I should take the GMAT this in June or July before submitting my applications. I am getting ~720 on sample tests and I strongly suspect after reviewing geometry and algebra I can get to 760 with fairly high probability. My LSAT score was 172. Does that help me too?
Thank you, -"really" wanttoconsult
Apply to the MBA level positions. I had no work experience, and went to a worse school, and got interviews.
Thank you.
Cool. If you don't mind, where did you go for undergrad? Did you get the interviews while at school or post-graduation?
Don't apply for non-associate (post-MBA) positions, the optics don't look good. Firms probably won't let you if you try (I'm K-JD as well and this was my experience at all of MBB).
To be clear, you applied for post-MBA "consultant" positions while at law school and you didn't get interviews?
Sorry--I asked recruiting whether I should/could apply for analyst level positions and they said to just go through the regular associate (post-MBA) level interviews. I interviewed at each MBB firm for post-MBA roles and was never given a choice.
FWIW, I don't think your chances would be any better/worse trying to go in at the analyst level so you might as well shoot for the job that pays you significantly more.
