You’ll be competing against all the other consultants who are also firm sponsored. Aim for 720+ and try to separate yourself from all the other applicants.

If it matters: T2 Strategy consultant, white male

Around 700+, depends on rest of application.

You’re coming from an overrepresented pool, so unless you have something very standout about your profile outside of what you listed, you’ll need something higher to ensure competitiveness

The are so many factors that this question is impossible to answer with no other information. I would use the free consultation with an admissions consultant to better gauge
