I think there's a lot of free resources for CV and interview prep. Also have a healthy sense of skepticism and no guarantees. I know people that paid $10K consulting packages and didn't get into any of the 3 schools. Also know those that are happy with consultants and found it worthwhile.

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc).
