You have rich parents and no social skills
There’s definitely a strong contingent of that at babson but personally know some babson grads who are the exact opposite
No one cares where you went to college. Some colleges make it easier for recruiting to hire you but once you’re in the people interviewing you and making the decision don’t care at all. Source: someone who went to a small liberal arts school we don’t actively recruit at

Congrats for making it but you're definitely the exception. There are a total of 9 consultants from my very large state school who work at an MBB and they all had to get MBAs from top schools or other advanced degrees. It's not a lack of will or trying; the MBB just don't look at resumes from my school.

LinkedIn search for currently employed at MBB and went to Babson. Then network your face off and hope and pray
Probably neutral to be honest.
Shouldn't someone who knows they're targeting MBB out of highschool have gotten into a college better than Babson?
It’s doable, but hard for MBB. I went to a very similar school to babson, but got into BCG after bschool. I’ve helpped connect some undergraduates with folks at the BCG, and a few ended up getting interviews and internships.
I probably went to the same undergrad and then also transitioned to consulting via bschool. I’ve been less nice on referrals tho, oops. Regardless, network network network (but effectively - not just shots in the dark. Say why you are reaching out to that person specifically, which is probably why ignore most)
This is coming from a student who’s on financial aid and scholarship.. if this helps at all
Yeah MK2 I’m sad every day that I didn’t get in the McKinsey tech pm pipeline. We can’t all have that bright of a future in front of us

I don’t think it’s a target but you might get an interview at mbb with clever networking. There are tons at ACN and the big 4 so you could always do that route and then hop to wherever you want.

I mean strat will try to pull the “best” colleges they can get, for sure. Again, babson probably isn’t a target for it. Doesn’t mean you can’t get hired in or transfer in. I know plenty who did.
ACN strat does decently with college pedigree but let’s also be honest, it’s not where most m7 kids are going.
Never heard of it - is it a big school?
Cross register at Wellesley and get on their network- prob better that way to be honest.
Ya, they do- they have a cross registration program with Olin, Babson and MIT.
Not great tbh. I’d say about the same as the better State schools.
What’s Babson College?
