Does working at Deloitte boost an application by much? I'm targeting a specific T30 regional school in the Midwest but have some holes in my app (low GPA). Reached out to admin and felt like they only really cared about my Deloitte experience and pushed me to apply regardless of what I said

At T30 Deloitte is a big deal. That’s where their grads target for jobs.

You should. My advice is to apply to some more reach schools too.

A friend from Deloitte Consulting got into Harvard 2 years ago

Deloitte people get to HSW. Just not at the same rate as MBB. And prior exp helps too. Someone from Yale -> Deloitte has a great shot at HSW.

Even with a low gpa, Deloitte will get you into a much better school. T15 likely and M7 not out of the question.

That’s a dumb statement. That’s the same thing as saying McKinsey isn’t a differentiator for M7 because Bain and BCG go there.

Accenture, Deloitte, etc are all differentiators.

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
