Getting MBB interviews from a non-target

Hi there,

Shoot, I'm sorry to hear this :/ It really sounds like you've put your heart and soul into this (and gone about it right).

My first instinct is that your resume just isn't very appealing. That can be in two areas:

1. How it looks (layout, language, etc.)
2. The actual experiences

For #1, that's “easy” enough to fix (have a coach look at it).

For #2, you need to greatly build up your experiences. Get a summer internship (anything consulting, business, tech related). Get a part-time internship during the year. Lead a club/organization in your school.

Good luck!

What are some suggestions people have for me? Well technically you seem to have ticked all the right boxes. My only recommendation would be to NOT worry so much in excess. You've tried your best so far. Focus on the process and trust the process. If it is to come your way, it will.

What kind of summer internship? If you want a full-time consulting offer, then a consulting summer internship would make most sense. Again, I would recommend to not worry too much in micro-evaluating different options. Aim for all that you are applicable for - and then evaluate your choices when you have offers in hand. Don't think in terms of what will ‘hurt’ your chances - it will only harbour negative vibes in your mind.

Hi!

Considering all the steps you've done, I believe joining a tier-2 or a boutique in the US can be highly beneficial before re-applying to MBB next year.

Good luck,

Anto

Hello!

Sorry to hear this, it totally seems you did a great job. Has anyone looked at your CV and CL? Problem can be there. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Let me get this straight - besides applying from a non-target school are you also applying from a foreign country?
