T2s are more stringent with invites, smaller classes

Fair enough, thanks all

Usually it means your resume is too OP for T2 or T3 (Big 4, ACN)

This isn't true. There are traditionally cross-invites across all tiers as long as you network with them and you don't have red flags. Lots of classmates who ended up at PwC, S&, EYP, LEK, etc. for internships and FT also interviewed with MBB and vice-versa.

I used to be at Accenture Strategy and we got pretty good at identifying people who were interviewing with us to get some practice reps before they went on to MBB, and we would try to avoid wasting our own time.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
