If you want to break into management consulting (MBB) what is the optimal number of internships one should have? (assuming that MBB firms only look for full-time position out of an undergrad, not for an internship)
P.s. I know the more, the better but want to know the approximate number.
P.s. Answers for IB are also relevant.
Thanks

Northeastern has a ton of internships.
I did IB, but I did internships until I got an offer
^. I mean also if you can make good money AKA beer money from working and internship while your fellow students work at the Campus rec center why not just make the extra cash.
I've seen friends get MBB offers anywhere from 1 to 6 internships. But all of them they had eye-popping resumes when you factored in academics and extra-curriculars
6 internships... That is another level. If you don't mind can you give an insight regarding their GPA range and the type of extracurriculars?
WAM 85+, GPA 3.8+, deans lister for multiple semesters or awarded scholarships. Founder/President/Vicepresident at some random club, case comp champion, high position at a consulting club managing real clients, started own business, competed in something at a national level, featured on newspaper for something etc etc
That is really impressive. Appreciate the insights.
I would assume 3-4 is probably the minimum that makes sense for FT recruiting.
