Intl Student at Ivy want to get into consulting

I'm a History major at a top Ivy (HYP) with a 3.9 GPA looking to get into Consulting. The problem seems to be that since I'm an International student, I really doubt whether any firm will want to sponsor me for a work Visa. I don't have any good relevant internships either, so I would like to know if it would be easier to get a Consulting job in another country; HK, Singapore, Etc.

 

Unless you are applying to a specific school within a university (e.g. wharton), college major does not influence your chance to get into a university.

However, history majors (and other liberal arts majors) often have an easier time getting higher GPAs (there is grade inflation relative to STEM) .

 

Yeah, it's hard to maintain a good GPA while majoring in STEM; whereas the Humanities are easier. I know a few History majors who went on to do Software Engineering at companies like Google and Microsoft so the major apparently doesn't matter as much as the prestige of the school.
