"I did a course in Philosophy and that is one of the most meaningful courses I've done over time" My guess is because it teaches you how to ask the right questions.

I request insideiim to here my story " I am a great fan of insideiim as it lets me to know what really top mba college grads do. I am also an MBA aspirant from top bschool. I gave cat 2 times i got only 85 percentile now i have calls from tier-2 colleges like kj somiya, Tapmi, Great lakes etc. Now i am literally scared to open insideiim as it pinches me it's not for you.My request is to bring someone from these tier 2 colleges who studied well in thier mba and went on to succed in their carrer. I think there are many people like me.If you can share some success stories from tier 2 b-schools it will be a motivation for lots of people like me to move forward."

Do we need to choose finance as our main elective or we can choose marketing to be a consultant in MBB

[animeshdinda]

How to get consulting withoyt a heavy profile, because you know that everyone is not coming from top ug college or background. So if they aspire to join mbb what should they do at their mba college?
