Junior Year Summer MBB (or tier 2) Internship Chances
Am a sophomore right now at a semi-target (of sorts).
I've grown very interested in consulting, and I am eager to obtain a tier 1/tier 2 internship next summer (summer after my junior year)
Was wondering what y'all think my chances are to get some MBB & tier 2 interviews.
-School: Semi-Target -GPA: 3.6 -Major: Philosophy Minor: Econ
-Leadership: Vice President of Debate Team, Treasurer in Student Council, Director of Communications for volunteering/community organizing group, Member of consulting club (gonna try to get on E-Board by next year)
-Freshman summer internship: Operations intern at large (but regional) real estate nonprofit -Sophomore summer internship: JPM front office (not IB) in major market -Other activities: Have been invited to, and attended, a few summits/events (GS, JPM) and some case workshops. I also have some experience working on some political campaigns. (Idk if that matters, but they always come up aa talking points in interviews).
Also, I'm black (I don't know if this matters. I've seen people state that they are URM on previous threads, so I mentioned it just incase).
Any feedback, insight, or advice would be extremely helpful and met with gratuity.
Thanks!
You'll probably want to post https://www.reddit.com/r/consulting/comments/ae39ud/recruiting_for_cons…</a">here instead of on this site, lots more active users, lots of help.
For my input, your GPA is low, and a semi-target isn't going to help. Your major is diverse, but you should have like a 3.8 from humanities at least. You're looking at Tier 2 firms, possibly tier 3.
Leverage the internships, go hard, and get a good resume point. Networking will be key here.
Awesome, thanks a lot!
I think you are being overly critical. Being URM can cover the low GPA / non-quant major.
I appreciate the feedback, but this is the same response OP is getting elsewhere
