In Reply To: Hi, This is a response to the GPA question... I go to William & Mary (#1 small public university, #40-ish for the Undergrad Business School)... anyway, Pricewaterhouse Coopers Management Consulting accepted me into their externship program (which is basically like getting an offer). My GPA was less than a 3.0, but my resume was really great. What the big consulting firms really want to hear is that you are technologically inclined, that you work well in teams, that you wouldn't mind the travel, and that you have a good attitude. They look less at GPA, and more at how promising you are in the consulting world. Hope that helps!
Message: Not to be pain in the ass or flame anyone....but what exactly do you mean by "#1 SMALL Public University"?
