Please help me get a decent internship: 770 GMAT, bad UG GPA, blah WE
I'm starting the JD/MBA program at a t25, non-target school. One or two of MBB recruit at the school, but I don't think they hire many students from here. I have a terrible UG GPA and mediocre WE (2 yrs), but a great gmat score: 770 (45V, 50Q, 6.0 AWA). I'm a pretty smart person who was really lazy, unfocused, undisciplined in UG. As a result, I've had limited professional opportunities. To create opportunities for myself, I weaseled my way into this JD/MBA program. Is there anyway for me to land a decent consulting internship / job / interview? If not consulting, then what?
Georgetown?
great gmat scores aren't particularly special... you're better off trying to work your alumni network really.
"I got an A+ in social life!"
Will nobody help this poor, disadvantaged soul?
770 Gmat score and only top 25 Business school?
You still pretty lazy to me. "Please help me get a decent internship." Come on, is this an NGO or what? Work your a$$ of and earn it. Consulting firms not only want smart people, they want people that are CONSISTENTLY smart, so good luck with that. Also, if you are looking for experience, do you really think only through internships you can get that? Go and start a business, start a club in your school, a non-profit, something that shows you are proactive, then you can start filling up your resume, which eventually will get you some internships, and the as you get more and more internships you'll be able to get some better ones. Work for it. I really doubt even networking will get you through this, who will want to risk their reputation for somebody that has not successful track record after so long? Not me.
Georgetown? No.
770 gmat score and only top 25 Business school? 18-25, i was already in the JD program and I don't want to come back to school again later (especailly since my crappy WE and UG GPA probably make it so that the M7 will never be attainable)
"Please help me get a decent internship." That came out wrong. I guess what I meant is, "Help me come up with a strategy for finding an internship / What sort of internship opportunities are realistic for me?" I know that MBB aren't going to want me because of my track record, but I was hoping that WSO could help me determine if consulting is in the cards at all for me. I've heard that firms like Deloitte and Accenture are notably less selective than MBB. At that level are they still big fans of GMAT scores? I'm really not a lazy person, it's just that I've done so much damage to myself with the poor decisions of my youth, that there is only so much catching up that I can do. Considering my terrible start (UG, post UG WE), I think I've done pretty well creating some opportunities for myself.
