Management Consulting Question

Hi all,

I'm in the process of changing to a business management major at undergrad level.

I have extremely unimpressive/bad grades from my previous degree, and it is my understanding that my current uni shows all marks from my previous and now new degree on the transcript.

I would like to get into management consulting.

Would they reject me due to my grades in my previous degree?

Also, in your opinion, would it be good to repeat two courses simply to boost up one's gpa? I did these two courses in my previous degree, where i got "6s" (D). the full mark is a "7." (HD)

Thank you

i don't even know where to start with this one. you need to tell us which consulting firms you would like to work at, what university you are attending, which region you would like to work in, etc.
