In Reply To: I've been trying to get a summer internship in consulting, but it is proving very difficult. I am in a joint degree program getting my BS and MBA (with a year and a half left). Recruiters do not come to my school anymore, as it has become more of an I-Banking school. Furthermore, in e-mailing alum I have found out that there are few undergrad spots available over the summer (for which you need connections) and I am not qualified for an MBA level position (since I don't have any experience). Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? I don't think online applications will get the job done and I really don't want to be jobless over the summer. Thanks!!!
Message: what school are you in? Ivy? If not, you have no hope! MBA's are not worth the paper they are printed on if you don't have the right school. aim differently and think about working for start-ups. Money would be good and atmosphere great!
