The standard has dropped used to be 3.8, but now it’s more important your female or POC and it’s over a 3

Candidly, if you cannot pull a 3.3 through hard work and resourcefulness in your course selection, a Strategy practice is likely not your place.

Yes, these schools are challenging. My two daughters go to one, very few people walk out with a 4.0, but they both have earned 3.6s through their tenure.

Will they want Accenture or get admitted? Different story, but clearing the 3.3 bar is a minimum.

I’m neither a female or POC, would I still need a 3.8?

I wouldn’t say there is a “necessary” GPA; got interviews at 2/3 of MBB and all of the T2s with a 3.3, but had to work a lot harder to get my foot in the door.

Can you share a bit more on what you did to get your foot in the door, securing those interviews at MBBs?

Accenture entry-level recruiter here - the entry-level Strategy GPA requirement is 3.3 (always a chance that it changes, but haven’t heard word of that for this fall yet)

Hey recruiter, Is that a hard cutoff?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
