I come from an Ivy undergrad (non HYP) and have a 3.8 GPA and studied engineering/math. I am an ORM. Would PwC consulting (TMT group) for full time be good enough to get into a M7 with a 750 GMAT? I got a 700 with no practice on a practice test and am fairly confident I can get it up to a 750 with a few weeks of prep.

It’s very doable. Just completed my M7 MBA program. I honestly would be very surprised if you don’t get into one.
I haven't landed PwC yet, but think its about the best I can do. Any other recs besides consulting for b schooll?
Consulting is one of the best pre-MBA gigs for business school. What makes you say that PwC consulting is the best you can do when you have a very high STEM GPA at an Ivy?
I second autonomous here, you could definitely still target T2 at the minimum, as you're coming from a target w a strong GPA. Maybe try S& instead of PwC? It will def give you a boost for MBA apps
Just interned at PwC - focus on specific management advisory groups that are more competitive and have better reputations. Given the size of the firm, there is a wide disparity even within the “horizontals” on what the teams cover and what the exit opportunities look like. Network to learn about where you can be placed and who you vibe with.
Whats the overall rep on the Deals M&A group vs the TMT coverage group?
Horizontals are different then verticals - you would be in a specific horizontal ie.) advisory or tech and a specific vertical ie.) TMT, healthcare, or finance. This is only applicable to advisory
Stats like that why is MBB not on the table?
