($) Want to go into consulting? Here’s a tip to increase the chances of a successful pitch.

Last week we talked about venture capital as a goal in an MBA application. Let’s turn our attention today to the most common post-MBA goal that we ever see in BSers’ essays: Consulting.

Today’ss advice is offered both for pitching consulting in your MBA apps — where it’s exceedingly difficult to stand out from the crowd of other wanna-be consultants — and for planning your actual career. (These two tasks should not be considered separate — the things you say in your MBA essays should, literally, be what you’re currently planning to go do post-MBA — but we recognize that many people get advice to craft their applications in a way that they think will get them in, rather than actually, literally, authentically saying in the essays what they actually plan to go do.)

And of course yes, we have an app for that! The Career Goals App Accelerator gives you two chances for feedback from EssaySnark on the idea you have put together for pitching the MBA adcom in those essays. Want to go into consulting? Lay out your ideas in this App Accelerator and we’ll let you know how they sound!
