, many are excited to join a campus club. Some gravitate toward ultimate Frisbee or rock climbing. Others sign up for the improv comedy group or the school newspaper. But these days, one of Georgetown’s hottest student activities is something rather more buttoned-up: consulting.
The campus is full of students who already have lengthy LinkedIn résumés and a casual command of terms like “deliverables.” Though such firms don’t necessarily have the best public image , the appeal of getting recruited by McKinsey & Company or Bain & Company is obvious: six-figure starting salaries, frequent travel, challenging work that can involve complex problem-solving. It’s a prestigious gig—even if your parents’ friends back home might not have any clue what it means.
Meanwhile, companies like McKinsey, Bain, and Boston Consulting Group continue to maintain a high profile on campus, collaborating with some of the clubs and forging relationships with students they might want to recruit upon graduation. The new rules could now make consulting clubs less useful as farm teams for the major companies, but they’ll also broaden the path toward those top-tier gigs for students who might previously have been excluded.
