If your GPA is below a 3, then it's extremely unlikely to happen unless you either sold a company for $1B+ or get a top MBA
2nd this. And his/her startup experience is not helpful at all, unless it is a unicorn.
What makes you think you've accomplished more than most entry-level consultants?
I'm sure you're getting great experience at the startup, but that's a pretty bold statement that you're "more accomplished than most entry-level consultants." I don't think you can truly say that unless you have experience working there.
Like what the others said, you're only ways of getting to MBB from your current situation are:
1) You're at a unicorn/large pre-IPO startup and have a lot of responsibility and impact 2) Go to a top tier business school and go through OCR 3) Have a good relationship with an MBB partner
You might be doing similar tasks as MBB consultants its highly unlikely you do them with the same speed and quality as them. Pretty strange to put yourself above others if you've never been in their position
Thanks for all the feedback! I apologize, I misspoke. I meant I've accomplished more than the entry-level consultants MBBs hire, as in college grads who have great GPAs but have not actually worked with C-suite executives, made pitch decks, built revenue models etc (yet, that is). So, I was wondering since I've already gotten my feet wet as compared to people straight out of college, would this make me valuable? However, I think I got my answer.
