This is a simple question. What is the conversion rate of application -> interview -> offer at MIT and Booth?
(I'm an incoming student. I have dozens of hours of case interview study under my belt, though I'm rusty, and my firm intention is employment at one of the top firms - coming from product side of big tech).
I'd check this thread out: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/ama-deloitte-so-f500-corp-strate…
The rough answer is that roughly ~30%+ of people recruiting for consulting will get MBB (when you combine 1Y + 2Y recruiting) and another ~30% will end up across the other consulting firms. A couple other quick thoughts based on your post.
1) I would stop case prepping - unless you happen to be prepping with consultants from strong firms who recruited out of business school, you're probably creating more bad habits than good habits. If you really feel the need to be prepping at this stage, just read the WSJ and make sure you really understand how every business in there makes money. You can also make sure your math skills (by hand / in your head) are up to date.
2) Working hard is great, but don't do so much you come across as obsessive or competitive. Recruiters are people too and they want normal people that they can see themselves hanging out for ~60 hours / week. Be nice and relatively honest, you'll be fine.
I've had final round interviews at all 3 MBB firms as an experienced hire, which is more competitive than on-cycle/on-campus recruiting, so I'm relatively optimistic about my chances (though still paranoid). Just wanted to get a sense of numbers.
Thanks for the contextualizing info, very helpful!
