Non-Target
What’s up WSO Fam,
I’m a freshman at a top 25/30 US university which is a good school but doesn’t place well into consulting
I made it pretty far in recruiting for a introductory internship with a mid-tier consulting company but ultimately ended with the hiring manager telling me that even though he really liked me, since my school was not among their target schools for recruiting it wasn’t going to work out.
I’m only a freshman so I have time to build my network and other things but I’d love to hear some perspectives on this situation and any advice for breaking into MBB and high level consulting as a non-target student.
Appreciate it!
