What type of certificates can one get to increase chances of acceptance into MBB? Same way finance has CFA certification

Hi,

It's more about achievements:

1. Launching your own venture and entrepreneurial activities (even failing them is fine)
2. Grants / scholarships - even better if related to some research or entrepreneurial projects
3. Projects for companies - you may consider doing a free project for the company or a startup or writing a case that future grads will use
4. Volunteer / social activities. I would aim at the activities where you can have a leadership role. Organizing some club may work as well.
5. Case Competitions-especially the ones organized by your target company
6. Researches / articles published in well-known sources

I would try to go deep rather than broad. It's good to have something that you can put as a part-time job in your resume rather than just a bullet point. It will also give you great stories for the FIT part of the interview.

Best,

None really,

Most important for CV is to have some work for brand name (including Big 4 for example) but mainly have some real achievements like:

- Projects for business or non-profits

- Achievements at standard jobs (like establishing something or preparing a big complex thing)

- University competitions
