I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle.

I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
