Hi there,
I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:
- First of all, academic excellence is one of several criteria that consulting firms typically evaluate. Therefore, I would highly advise you to improve your profile in other areas such as relevant professional experience, leadership, and extracurricular activities.
- Moreover, networking plays a crucial role. I would advise you to connect with current consultants from your target firms. These connections can provide referrals and valuable insights about the firms.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen
