target grad not impressive enough for top consulting?
Hey guys! I know a recent grad who is trying very hard to join consulting (ok it's me). I feel I got everything at just ok level but not as IMPRESSIVE as top consulting firms are looking for. Can you take a look at my background and provide whatever comment/advices/critique you have? Thanks a lot guys!
- Ivy/ GPA 3.7/ Master/ Not business or engineering major/ GRE V87%+ M98% /
- three internships in city agencies in NYC/
- thesis performing analysis on huge amount of data using different coding and analyzing tools
- projects with exposure to real estate, transportation, and economic development
- founder of three non-profit organizations at undergrad school
- no professional work experience between undergrad and grad school
- some athlete experience 10 years ago...
I feel a lot of students have same level of experiences or even much better than mine. Should I turn to lower-tier firms or keep on leveraging what I have at hand and see if I'm the lucky one?
Network your butt off and practice case interviews. Apply to MBB and if that doesn't work, go for the rest.
The best thing you can do is just keep plugging away, there are people who will be hired that will have better AND worse qualifications than you. The only thing you can control is the amount of effort you put into the hiring process.
Thanks! Will try my best!
