There are a few strategies you can employ to improve your chances. I can't explain them better than they did in this article, so I'll just share the link. Good luck! https://hackingthecaseinterview.thinkific.com/pages/getting-into-consulting-with-a-low-gpa

This is a great resource. Thank you for sharing this.

Hey, OP. So, here's my take. In the world of consulting, I find that the ability to think on your feet and reason through strategy is more important than your school record. And if you have done decent networking and can leverage that network for more interview opportunities, all the better. That's not to say that landing your first consulting job won't be tough coming out of a school with a lower GPA, but once you're in the field, it's easier to let your work speak for itself.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
