Super easy if you already crushed it at a top IB as an analyst with Ivy UG and then go to HBS and know the ins and outs of PE.
Or if your pops is a LP

You don't need an MBA for LMM PE at all. I went to that straight from Bain. I then did my MBA to get into a MF.
Edit: Misunderstood your post. If you want PE, do post-MBA IB and after that it'll all be networking regardless of fund size. Forget about consulting.

Every level you move up is harder. As an undergrad, you’ll hire in as an analyst. As a BA with 2-3 years experience, you’ll hire in as an Associate. With 5-6 years experience or 3-4 + mba you’ll come in as a senior associate. If you have an MBA and a couple years consulting experience, you’re going to be way over qualified for associate and on the upper end of senior associate. You start looking at VP only - especially if you get designated engagement manager at MBB. That just makes it really hard to get into PE at that point. Spots are extremely limited
