Hi All,
I pretty do not fit in to the bank of smart brains like you guys ;( but I strongly need your advice to be like you. I have a 1 yr internship with a consulting firm a few years back and then a customer service position in retail. I loved my experience with the consulting firm and strongly believe that will be my carrer path. My problem is, I’m graduating from a public university with a very bad below a 3.0 GPA cause of family and financial challenges. I can’t extend my graduation because of financial constraints. But I intend going for my masters. My questions are:
1. Should I go for a masters programme or and MBA?
2. Is there any prospect in getting opportunities with the BCG&co?
3. In general, how would you advice I tailore my strategy

Good point. We have anecdotal detail (tied to undergrad and grad school numbers). For where you are, you’re probably looking to transfer to something relevant based on management and topical experience vs. actual age. If you want to ask a specific question about a target firm and provide more info in a comment or via email, go for it.

Thanks for sharing. I guess you can see why working in the U.S. is so competitive…
