It’s all relative to be honest, and this is what I have heard from many deans

If you’re a strong candidate with relevant experience, you will definitely find a job
But if you’re trying to pivot into consulting with no prior experience, then you’re in a tough spot if you go to non T-20 colleges

Because most companies are hesitant to take a risk with your profile

And plus, consulting as a whole has taken a hit in 2024
UNC is considered one of the best consulting schools and look at their report:

14% of class went into consulting industry
19% of class went into consulting roles
https://simon.rochester.edu/sites/defau ... active.pdf

You're more likely to land Finance/Accounting or Marketing/Sales roles if you attend.

Based on my convos with alumni and people currently in consulting:
If you're an international and you're actually special, you will get sponsored -MBB or not. If you're not that special, consider a serious backup plan and invest time and effort in it so you dont graduate without a job.


I truly feel like theres 2 types of admits:

1. Say they want to go into consulting, but they really have no idea what they want and consulting was a placeholder.
2. People genuinely want to do consulting and is already looking to form casing groups and reaching out in network for coffee chats.

Dropping the Simon admit, maybe a deserving candidate who is placed on waitlist will secure the spot. My focus is more on PM roles, not consulting and finance. I have interview invite from INSEAD and awaiting results from Tuck. Taking a leap of faith

Hello vsg700,

This question is fairly subjective and unfortunately you may not have one correct answer from anyone. The schools you are awaiting decisions from are very competitive so it may go either way; as an international student, some risks will always be there but securing a seat may make sense, especially, if you are not prepared to wait.

Good luck!
