I will be graduating in May 2015 with a BSc B&F degree after my final exams (hooray!) and am really keen on pursuing a career as a Management Consultant. Top choices, of course, go to MBB Consulting firms followed by local and foreign consulting firms.

Would like to seek advice on:

1. What firms are good in the industry
2. If the number of graduates of SIM-UOL getting in is high
3. How and What I can do to score an interview with them (I'm pretty confident with my interview skills!)

If you have been there, done that or heard of similar cases, please feel free to share! Criticism is accepted if that can make me improve (Y)

Well, as with the others who have already replied you, forget about getting into MBB. You have better luck with second tier consulting firms, like the big 4, accenture, watson towers, mercer.

I actually by some miracle managed to get an internship with mercer before my 3rd year. I performed well, and they gave me a return offer. However, i must declare though, that it is for HR Consulting. So i turned it down. My advice would be, target the 2nd tier or the 3rd tier. Build up your experience, then try for a jump upwards. A much better chance that way.

Graduated with a RMIT Bachelor of Business Accountancy with Distinction. Also, conferred The Overall Top Student award for the year.

Consequently, I was able to secured a job in a government-linked company, drawing a salary of $3K.

Do you suck dick with that?

SIM people will never get interns at brokerage firms. They wont even get banks and will be lucky if they pour coffee in an accounting firm. ur 4.5k must be from gambling or ur parent's will
