Why would you leave restructuring to go MBB? Go to alix / A&M or FTI...

Your T25 MBA won't help you. If your D experience is good and you can articulate that you're a high performer, that will.

Go on LinkedIn and network. I joined from a T20 part time program before switching over to Alix. Your T25 is highly valuable as is your D experience, and you can definitely get into MBB. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

Fair point. I misread the post as if s/he was considering a part time program.

OP - just for some additional context, at my firm, I know that the consultant class of 2021 is going to be filled out almost entirely with 2020 summer interns. Again, not trying to tell you there's no chance, but at least this year will be tough for other pipelines. I have heard similar comments from the other two firms.

Not sure MBB hires from part-time cohorts. At least I haven't seen it. Also, T25 seems to be off their core school roster. Which school specifically are you going to? I would reconsider going to a full-time program at a Top ~15 school

AP definitely does (e.g., Booth, Kellogg, Ross)

For Rx specifically, there are firms outside of MBB that are highly regarded and considered “Tier 1” in that space. They are highly selective as well, but are less stubborn about recruiting primarily from top B-schools. If your heart is set on MBB, MBB would love to poach an Rx professional from a top Rx firm like Alix or A&M.

Many thanks in advance.
