Hi, this is just a question out of curiosity.

I know typically it is pretty difficult getting shortlisted by the MBBs to interview if you're from a non-target as you'd need stellar results and connections. However, where I am from (in SEA), the BAs are reserved for local graduates and foreign graduates from "better" universities enter at Associate level instead. I would say this makes the process of getting shortlisted considerably easier.

Hence, I was trying to evaluate if the entire process here is easier as compared to other countries. I would say that the case portion of the interview can be practiced and learnt to the point that arguably anyone can do well.

Wanted to hear opinions on this. Thanks!

Hi,

From what I've seen the interview process for the top schools is much easier than the interview process for non-target schools.

But comparing the interview success rates and resume selection rates is like comparing apples to oranges - not really sure how it can help you
