Last week you we gave you a sneak peek inside the Clear Admit Career Guide to Investment Banking. This week we are excited to highlight the Clear Admit Career Guide to Consulting, a great resource for prospective MBA students thinking about a career in this extremely popular field.
Since few business schools offer electives or majors specifically designed to prepare students for consulting careers, this guide is unique in that identifies consulting-related courses, key professors, club activities, and career support, as well as recruitment numbers for schools placing graduates into consulting jobs. The Clear Admit Career Guide to Consulting can be used for the following purposes:
- - To assess the consulting-oriented offerings at leading schools and narrow your list of targets
- - To gather key school-specific facts that pertain to your career goals in consulting and craft application essays that shine
- - To ensure that you are 100% up to speed on your target schools’ offerings prior to an admissions interview
- - To help make the final decision as to where to attend by measuring each programs’ offerings and reputation in your target field
For example, readers of this Career Guide can learn about how Kellogg specifically prepare students for a career in consulting via a specialized major:
“Of the twelve schools profiled in this guide, only Kellogg offers a major specifically designed to prepare students for consulting careers. The school’s Analytic Consulting Major draws from the fields of decision sciences, operation management, managerial economics and marketing to teach students how to analyze strategy using empirical models.”
If you are interested in Kellogg’s consulting major, the MBA Program Profile section of the guide includes detailed information about academics, popular professors, extracurriculars, and career services offered at the school. Each of the guide’s twelve profiles offers specialized information an applicant can use when deciding which program is best suited for them.
For example, at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business:
“A distinctive aspect of the Ross MBA program is the Multi-Disciplinary Action Program (MAP) that takes place during the second half of the winter quarter. In this course, student teams are paired with companies in the U.S. and abroad to complete a significant consulting assignment. The teams work for Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurs, and non-profits on projects related to business plan development, human resource planning, marketing, process improvement, growth strategies and more. Though all students participate in the course, the hands-on nature of the problem solving in this course makes it a particularly valuable experience for aspiring consultants.”
And that’s just a taste of the in-depth information included in this 43-paged guide. Find out more in the Clear Admit Guide to Consulting available for immediate purchase and download from the Clear Admit shop!
