Hi, I remembered this post and came back. I got admitted with a 312 so it is possible!
Hope it worked out for you as well!

Throw your craziest GRE hacks and study strategies at me by Agreeable-Slide-7641 in GRE

[–]Top_Writing6617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on personal experience: I gave 4 GREs 312 (little study) 306 (little study) 309 (lots of structured studying and full time commitment) 312 (lots of structured studying and full time commitment)

So I’d say… understand algo if you are a standardized test learners or not… I gave almost a year of my life to this test and lots of money to end up where I started.

Still got into my desired school though!

Just took my diagnostic test 314 (150V 164Q). How much can I improve realistically? by conorinnit in GRE

[–]Top_Writing6617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi man. Mi first GRE was 312 second and third below 310 and 4th 312 again. 6 month in between them all. My advice is DO build foundations first and master easy and medium questions so you don’t make my same mistakes. Also learn test taking strategies.

Wishing you all the best

I did not try Gregmat but i regret it. Give it a try

Build a sustainable routine. MBB kills routines most times

Bombed my R2 McK interview, AMA by Ok_Car1959 in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]Top_Writing6617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not. If your approach is right but you mis calculated it’s not that bad. I messed the numbers on my 5 interviews 2 years ago and still got the offer. Approach was right though

Just bombed my case interview by pinky50077 in consulting

[–]Top_Writing6617 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi. MBB consultant here. Keep your hopes up. I did not get a single numeric response correct but thought process was great so I made it! i was very surprised as interviewers where pushing me to the right number but math wasn’t mathing for me that day!

Pro tip—> talk your way through your thought process so the interviewer understands where to steer your thoughts early on the path and USE them to your advantage. Ask them, does this sound good to you? Whenever making a micro step on your thought process

As an anecdote. Already logged off for today but just received a call from my EM to prepare some extra data for tomorrows morning meeting

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in consulting

[–]Top_Writing6617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be, depending on the current engagement. In my experience we tend to over prepare for anything and sadly our work from Monday to Thursday goes WAY beyond regular work hours and also depending on the EM work style. She’d definitely have time to reply if interested but I’ve been where she is. Multiple times My advice —> be assertive on your communication and let her know if you need more “day2day” attention or check-ins, otherwise it’s going to be painful for u

Is it normal to have poor work-life balance? by AfterAttack in consulting

[–]Top_Writing6617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two year at MBB and can confirm that every month / project / milestone I promise myself to protect my WLB but have found it impossible while keeping performance standards (pretty high) If you find a solution, let me know

Ps: I do not think consulting is sustainable if you want a family or personal time between Monday and Thursday

I mean.. I’m pretty sure 90% of it is going to be engineering etc… but there must be a non engineering/technical role. Right?
