| You'll want a high GPA (around 3.8). From there you should work to find any internships made available to you your freshmen year (even if they are not in management consulting). Try for internships in an industry/field you could see yourself working in other than management consulting (assuming you cannot find an internship in management consulting). This will give you some degree of specialization (and the chance to possibly be a manager in that field down the road). Make sure you get started early on the internship process as it is quite competitive and it's (often) hard for freshmen to find decent internships. As you get more work experience (and presumably maintain a rather high GPA) you should be able to leverage that into a management consulting internship. |
