Hello everyone,
I’m currently a PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (starting my third year this September), majoring in Pharmaceutical Sciences. I’m very interested in the Advanced Professional Degree program offered by McKinsey & Company.
I believe I’m good at problem-solving and leadership, but I don’t have any prior consulting experience. I sincerely wanted to ask those with experience in the field whether someone with my background would have a chance to break into consulting, and how I should start preparing for it.
Since I’m only entering my third year and still have about three years before graduation, I have both the time and willingness to prepare seriously. I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions. If there are any people with a similar background who would be willing to share their experience, I would be especially grateful!
Feel free to DM me anytime. Thank you so much!
