Pivoting towards consulting at a semi-target (rising junior)
Just finished Sophomore year at a semi-target/top semi-target (afaik). I came into college with plans to go straight to Law School afterward, but realized recently that I need to change course and would like to move towards consulting. The result is that I have a pretty good GPA (3.94) but am really behind my classmates who came in knowledgable about the recruiting process.
Relevant info:
-Econ/Supply Chain double major, foreign language minor
-decent extracurriculars— not super involved (2 big commitments basically), but have leadership and some other experiences that could probably be spun as relevant
-had an internship last summer and have one this summer; neither at a big-name company, one was law-related, the other business
-have some connections to top firms (mostly friends of parents and parents of friends)
-interested in management or operations consulting
I was mainly wondering:
-
If it's too late to make this pivot if my goal is to end up at a "good" firm— I know I could technically put my name in for MBB 2025 internships and grind interview prep, but I feel so clueless that idk if I've missed out on that make consulting not a viable option at this point
-
If it's not too late, is there anything I should be doing besides networking, polishing my resume/linkedin, and interview prepping?
Less important:
-
Does the language minor add anything? If I get an interview, should I expect it to be mentioned? I'm mostly finished with it so no chance of switching, wondering for for curiosity's sake
-
I noticed a few applications suggested attaching an SAT score— do they actually consider this?
Thanks! Sorry for the wall of text
