I have 1 YOE in strategy consulting at a Big 4, planning to apply for BA/AC roles at MBB. I’ve read they prefer you to list test scores on the application. I’ve never taken the GMAT, so is my ACT still ok to include even though it’s nearly a decade old? 99th percentile fwiw

I believe it depends the firm, but usually for entry level roles they require your test scores so ACT/SAT even though it’s a decade old.

I’m confused, if you have 1 yoe in consulting how is your act 10 years old?

A combination of factors including a graduate degree and a 2 year leave from college for a church mission.
