HI guys,
I'm not graduating from a target university. However, I want to enter MBB anytime soon. Do you have recommendations on how to best proceed?
Thanks!
Hi Anonymous!
A friend of mine was in a similar position some years ago, and what actually worked for him was quite easy at the end of the day.
He was networking heavily to get in touch with both former and active MBB consultants, and he managed that a McKinsey engagement manager internally forwarded his application to HR and he was invited for interviews (for him, this approach only worked for McKinsey, not for BCG or Bain; but I assume that this is just pure chance).
Even though he didn't have much interview experience either, he did get an offer finally.
Hope that helps - if so, please give it a thumbs-up with the upvote button!

Hi A,
I am also not from the targeted shool and managed to get offers from McK and BCG.
So (1) network with MBB consultants to get a referral and secure your interview invite
(2) be very well prepared and crack 150+ cases and interviews.
You will make it!
Need help - reach out,

Next step is to try networking with current consultants and partners, to get their referrals.
Finally, practice and polish your case interview skills and PEI stories.
Hope it helps.

Hello!
It´s not a banner -I was not from a target uni or from a target major either, and I made it-.
There are multiple ways, such as networking with MBB, attending job fairs at Uni or hosted by the different companies, etc.
Cheers,
Clara
