i still have 4 more semesters to bring it up, so maybe somewhere in the 3.4 range hopefully. what other factors can help my m.consulting resume? can good couple of years work experience in the industry outweigh a bad gpa? maybe my topic should be what other jobs can i do without going into grad school with my ME degree since i want to avoid the engineer corporate life.
Relevant work experience is great. If going into risk/quanty consulting any kind of quanty-risk based job experience is huge. For the softer consultancies I'm not sure what looks good. I did banking and that showed I could "cut it" as a corporate tool that works hard.
As an engineer your quant qualifications are taken care of. Try to demonstrate via activities and other interests that you are not just a computer.
