I am about to start my first year in PE. I was curious about when people typically start preparing for business school (i.e. studying for GMAT, hiring a consultant, etc.). In the case I wanted to skip the B-School route, when do I start recruiting for a post-two year role?
Thanks in advance

Ideally take GMAT before you start... if not take it by June / July. Hire consultant in ~April. Start applications in June after your GMAT. Stage it - HBS / GSB round 1. Wharton round 2 if the first 2 dont pan out.
This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate you!
I've started working with a consultant ahead of time because if you hire them early then can still suggest areas of your profile to juice. It's up to you if you want to pay the extra cost, but I've found it's worth it.
very helpful insight! thank you!!
You're welcome - happy to provide a recommendation if you would like to PM me (someone who is top notch, very involved, and has an outstanding track record, but does not advertise).
He is not my consultant but rather the consultant of someone close to me; I chose very poorly (my consultant was a waste of $XX,000) and I am very envious of the person receiving the services of the consultant I would recommend.
