Georgia Institute of Technology
Georgia Tech undergraduates can pursue consulting through the Scheller College of Business’s Undergraduate Consulting Club, student-led pro bono consulting organizations, and the university Career Center. The school’s technical and analytical focus can be useful for students targeting technology, operations, analytics, and strategy roles, while client projects and case-preparation resources help students build consulting-specific skills.
Consulting placement
The college reported that 93% of B.S. Business Administration graduates secured full-time roles within three months of graduation. KPMG, McKinsey & Company, and Deloitte each hired five Scheller graduates, while PwC hired four.
Consulting clubs
Undergraduate Consulting Club (UCC) is the most direct starting point for students exploring consulting. Scheller describes its mission as increasing awareness of consulting, developing students’ skills for entering the industry, and connecting the Georgia Tech community with consulting firms. Its official website is the best place to check current membership details, case-prep sessions, and recruiting events.
180 Degrees Consulting at Georgia Tech provides consulting services to nonprofits and social enterprises. Its project areas include data visualization and analytics, digital transformation, and business strategy. Scheller says members can join client-facing projects from their first semester and access career preparation and interview training led by consulting firms and experienced club leaders. This is a useful way to gain project experience while developing skills relevant to consulting interviews.
Consult Your Community (CYC) recruits students to provide pro bono consulting services to small businesses in the Atlanta area. Students interested in business problem-solving and working with local clients can contact the organization to ask about its current projects and recruitment process.
Epic Intentions is another option for students interested in nonprofit consulting. Its student teams work on pro bono projects for Atlanta nonprofits, and the organization lists talks, workshops, and training in professional communication and public speaking. Its work can help students develop experience explaining recommendations to stakeholders.
Career services support for consulting
The Georgia Tech Career Center offers guidance on case interviews, behavioral interviews, and mock interview practice. Its interviewing page identifies case interviews as common in management consulting and directs students to consulting-industry guides through Firsthand, formerly Vault. It also recommends practice through the GT Consulting Club and organizations offering real-world consulting experience.
The Career Center offers mock interviews with career educators and advisors. These tools are useful for behavioral preparation; for case interviews, students should additionally practice structuring ambiguous problems, interpreting data, and communicating a recommendation under time pressure.
The Career Center’s broader skill-development guidance recommends practicing technical and case interviews with a club or preparation course and reviewing industry guides. It also directs students to company websites for firm-specific preparation materials.
Consider signing up for Management Consulted, a comprehensive, high-touch coaching and training platform. It features live 1:1 coaching with former MBB consultants, structured prep programs, extensive math/chart drills, resume editing, and an active job board. Students who used it found better job placements in consulting and found jobs faster after graduation.
Recruiting timeline
Application windows vary by employer, role, office, and internship or full-time track. Start checking target firms’ official career pages early, and track deadlines in CareerBuzz rather than assuming all firms recruit on the same schedule.
The Career Center coordinates employer information sessions and other recruiting events, both in person and virtually. Some sessions may be restricted by major or program, so review eligibility before registering. Events are listed through CareerBuzz, which requires an active account for detailed information.
