^^^^ What a poor attitude. Shoot for the stars; throw out some "hail marys" and see what happens, you havent even started yet and you're already making excuses. Try for MBB or whatever and if its not meant to be move on AT THAT POINT.
I know things can be discouraging but people from schools like yours are starting to crack into MBB, there were a few out of GTOWN this year with FT offers. Even if your goal was/is PE (which out of gtown is tough but maybe down the road a few years post MBA) you cant give up before you even start.
You should read "More than money" by Mark Albion, Rhyme recommended it, I think it would really resonate with you.

Not sure if this is some kind of transliterated idiom from your native tongue, but it's awesome.

Rhyme,
Thanks for your insightful posts.
I am intending to go through the consulting route, at least for a few years. I feel that I know myself pretty well and I feel that I will work best in an environment in which I get to work on very different projects, see new people and places, and constantly be learning.
You seem to not think very much of the consulting route, and as such I would be very interested to hear what you feel is positive about consulting. It's easy to hear company blurb and wannabe consultants talk about how great consulting is and I think a realistic perspective of the goo things from you would be be a good addition to this topic. If you've written elsewhere I apologize.
Cheers.

It sounds like you have yourself a pretty nice situation with a company you like working for. Why step out of the process in order to end up in the same place a few years later and thousands of dollars in debt? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me and you might be better off sticking where you are and moving up.
