Thoughts on PwC to M7 from Target

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.

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?

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.

 

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
