For anyone who doesn't know what m7 is (which is still shocking to me), here is the list: HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Booth, MIT Sloan, Columbia. If you don't know what HBS is, plz die.

Depends on your region. If US, then you probably need an MBA, if Europe, then you could try to just apply, MBAs are not always needed. In both regions a strong academic background is the prerequisite.

How do people not know what M7 is??? M7 are the top 7 b schools in the United States.

MBA. Don't know what M7 is but we recruit at more than 7 b schools. Most big 4 experience is looked at positively. If undergrad academics solid you'll get an interview - harder part is getting an offer.

My path was big 4 advisory > corp finance at well known hedge fund > m7 >BCG

What is M7?

like

To be clear, M7 is the seven schools whose administrators meet and share best practices.
It can obviously be argued that some other schools are better than, say, Columbia (Tuck and Haas come to mind), but those administrators aren't in the meetings

I never heard of "M7" or "burner" until FB. And I don't feel any smarter now that I know.

I hadn't heard of M7 either- just HSW.

like

From what I heard, from advisory to MC is hard, let alone MBB. Best approach is to get into M7 MBA and then try out campus recruiting
