Message: Consultant (or anyone else for that matter), As I said, in my previous post I got bad marks because my priorities lay elsewhere at the time. In retrospect, this was a mistake. In other words I don't have a good sob story and I'm not willing to make one up. At the same time, I don't believe that the collective intelligence at all of the strategy consulting firms who's raison d'etre is to find creative solutions, to look places their clients didn't think to look and to examine all sides of situation would dismiss my candidacy because my undergrad marks were poor *if* I can supply some other evidence of my intellectual capability. Is this just wishful thinking? How do I get interviews? I know I can shine as an analyst, and later as a consultant. I just need the chance to get the chance to prove it. Mike
