Has anyone gotten an experienced hire role at the post MBA level, without an MBA?
I spent a couple years at a T2 shop, exited to industry, and seriously considering hopping back into consulting. In an awkward bucket, where I was promoted to the post MBA level at my industry job

Yes.

I’ve seen EH laterals from other consultancies. But to come in at Consultant (lowest post-MBA) you’d need at least 5 YOE at a Big4. Probably Tier 2 as well. MBB thinks a little too highly of ourselves (and of MBAs).

He's an ivy league graduate and went to a great law school but for many reasons cannot leave this job right now. Looking for someone to help w/his confidence level and ways to approach his brother.

Thank you so much!

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
