Recently I got referred for a consultant role at BCG by a senior director of the knowledge management area (I did an internship). I applied, but after going through the application I got worried that I don’t have a GMAT score and I don’t come from a top tier school (MBA). Do you guys think I have a chance? I have good experience in pharma (+7 years commercial roles in big pharma).

All those are filtering criteria, if you get an interview go through the process. Likely won’t be a determining factor unless you are being compared to someone else who does just as well in the interviews and then that may be an objective factor, but unlikely.

I’m having a really hard time finding what a reasonable range would be. Most positions I’m applying to require desired salary in the application, and the truth is I’d accept anything north of 125k but don’t want to undersell myself and take a bigger cut than necessary coming from biglaw.
