Those who got into H/S from the big 4 (consulting practices), can you share a tip? Everyone I know that got in worked at MBB, a little discouraged...

Applying from B4 this fall as well. Good luck to us both.

Best of luck 🍻

You pretty much need to have a 1/1000 resume. Think about how many B4 consultants apply to H/S. What makes your resume unique compared to theirs? Highlight that.

Everyone has a unique story. Your purpose should be to forge that story from your past experiences and future goals, conveying it in an intriguing way. Get solid LORs, kill the GMAT, and the rest is up to the admissions committees.

Good luck!

Thank you!

What I’m trying to do is leave to MBB so maybe try that...

I work at a Big 4 in consulting and will be going to Stanford in the fall. It's possible. Difficult, but not impossible to achieve.

I would look at the Poets and Quants study of top feeder employers into Stanford GSB. There's the expected MBB and top IB at the top of the list, but surprisingly Deloitte makes a strong appearance as well (as one of the top feeder employers to GSB).

Can't speak TOO much about other Big 4 programs, but there's one person I've gotten close to in my start class coming from KPMG, so take that as you will.

May I ask what your general theme was in the application? Doesn’t have to be the exact answer for “what matters to you”, just the general theme

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.
