[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No I’m saying she has always been a good B student. She works extremely hard for the grades. Unlike some students at her HS who are just so naturally smart that it’s easy for them. It’s not easy for her. Countless hours studying. It is totally her choice based on many factors but I’m trying to give her rd best advice based on what she wants in the future, which is to be a Partner in a big firm. [/quote]

Competitive schools come with competitive classmates. My oldest was always an A is the only option kid, wanted competitive, strong big 4 recruiting, and a work hard play hard school. He chose Lehigh, and was honestly surprised at how lesser prepared many students from northern schools are when compared to the dc area, but he had a blast and he and many classmates had big 4 internships for junior summer in place by fall of sophomore year. He is now with Deloitte in NYC.

My younger was always a B (and occasional C) student. He wanted a more laid back environment. He chose Elon, has found classes relatively easy, and will be interning with KPMG advisory in NYC this summer.

That being said, the “target school” pipeline is real. The big 4 are relatively accessible from most colleges, but for consulting, places like BCG and Charles River will tell you to your face that they will review your application after they are finished with their target schools. [/quote]
