Does it look bad to have a very pre-law resume?

Hello, I am currently an undergraduate at a target university majoring in English and trying to segway from the pre-law track to consulting.

My only internship was at a human rights legal center and I have significant experience in very law related activities.

How much will this be a ding for me? Is there any way I can market this?

Short answer: no.

Plenty of liberal arts majors in finance and consulting. What to play up? Your writing skills, communication skills (with people), interest in solving problems (human rights). Since that’s what consultants do right? Solve problems.

If you are at a target I am sure you have access to alumni. Give them a call. Ask them for advice and help and explain situation. How about recent alums who are the ones that can put your resume in the “good” pile?

Once you get the interview invest a few bucks in a case study book, find a few partners or friends (buy them a few meals or beers if they are also not applicants) and practice cases.

Good Luck

I used to do Asia-Pacific PE (kind of like FoF). Now I do something else but happy to try and answer questions on that stuff.
