Asking for a friend but also have concerns myself - What’s the consulting recruiting thoughts on a second, or third degree from campus recruiting? For example someone went to a big state U for undergrad but got a master (non-mba) or phd from a lvy?

Also to follow up on this. What about same thoughts for international students?

The more degrees you have, the better you'll fare in most cases. It doesn't necessarily matter what school.

Did not attend an Ivy for my Masters (non-MBA) but when I spoke to an alum at a Big 4 about their recruiting process, he said that a non-MBA would go on the experienced hire track. Did not end up pursuing consulting so I don’t have much more intel for you. But, I gather that essentially campus recruitment is for undergrads and MBAs and everyone else falls into experienced hire, since there is no specialized recruitment route for non-MBA Masters. Doesn’t mean you can’t still show up to OCR and try to get attention as an experienced hire, though.

Would it be really bad if I had nothing in that section on my app beyond college extracurriculars? Or should I force some activity? I have enough time before I apply to make it look legit to adcoms.
