BBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Class of 2023. Will have 3 years of WE at a Big Four in tax operations at the time of matriculation. Looking to pivot into tech transformation/strategy consulting.
From a BBA at Wisconsin to Big 4 tax ops is a standard start, but your 324 GRE is just at the edge for Stern and Darden. For consulting/tech strategy pivot, you’ll need to build a narrative around problem-solving, tech enablement, and impact within your current role. GMAT might give you better odds, target 695+ to boost competitiveness at Stern and Darden.
McCombs and Owen are realistic, and align well with your career pivot. If possible, take on internal digital transformation projects or process automation to add differentiation. You’re early career, so leadership through mentorship or volunteer strategy roles can help.
Let’s unpack the pivot in more detail and plan test strategy accordingly.
