As the title says, I was able to land an Internship at MBB from a non-target school, and in fact, some of the people I talked to at the company were surprised by where I went. I am here to just share that it does not always matter where you are and more so what things stand out on your application. Ask any questions you may have and I will answer.

Thanks for posting. What do you believe stood out on your application (resume/CL)?
Personally, I think what differentiated my application was my research experiences. I have done extensive research in many areas that used scientific computing. Additionally, from that research, I have several publications and won some scholarships. I think that this made me stand out because typically this kind of profile fits someone graduating grad school and not undergrad, thus it perhaps made me look more accomplished. Everything else, like high GPA, clubs, and being in STEM felt fairly standard.
First, major congratulations, respect to the grind and thank you for being receptive to questions
Curious, did you network extensively and get a referral or did you just apply?
How did you prep for cases and the overall application process?
Thanks!
