How to become an entry level consultant for McKinsey & Company?

Hi so I’ll be brief, I’m 26 turning 27. I graduated from NYU in 2018 with BA in Interdisciplinary Studies (basically NYU’s Gallatin School) with a 3.8 GPA. I don’t have any background in finance, but I’m realizing — after years of “soul searching” — that I think I want to be a consultant. I always heard of McKinsey, and so I really want to shoot my shot there. I’m African American, Latino, and Native American. I wanted to know what would be the best path to try my luck at entering this career? Should I first try to study for the GMAT to get a good score and hope to get into prestigious MBA program? I just want direction on how to essentially break into the industry and get into McKinsey. Thanks guys, I’m really determined for this.

MBA at a top school is your best bet.

Most top schools will have a well-developed pipeline to feed graduates into MBB.

If you came up with McK after "years of soul searching", you didn't find much soul.

Top M7 feeds MBB. FT MBA is your best bet. Research which m& they recruit from most by your industry. Good luck.

How is your laundry list of races/ethnicities relevant ? Sounds like a Troll post / race bait
