Ask Stacy Blackman

Hi Stacy,

I was happily working towards my Essays and applications (after scoring a 700+), when someone just hammered a bolt from the blue.

I have been working as a consultant for past 5 years and always thought that I now have good work experience. My friend just told me that a consulting job is not rated well by the admission committees and that I really have very little chances of making it in top 20. Is this true? Is fulltime experience considered better than the consulting experience? If yes, then what options do I have?

Really need your advice on this topic.

Thanks
