Hello Reddit,
I am planning to apply to UK penultimate year consulting internships in the upcoming application cycle. I was hoping to get any guidance or advice regarding my CV, especially since I only recently decided to go for consulting after realising law was not for me.
I removed a couple of experiences like my tutoring (maths) which I have done since May 2026, as well as having not mentioned any of my law first year schemes since those do not seem relevant to consulting (though I am unsure if adding them would make me stand out and look more unique).
I am pretty sure internships require university grades on there so that took up quite a bit of space. I am not sure if a professional summary is necessary, so I would appreciate any advice on that.
I only became interested in consulting when I started the pro bono consulting internship, so I have not done case competitions or anything of the like.
I am not aiming for MBB (since I do not think I am competitive enough or go to a target school for that), but I am interested in any other firm (specifically like PA Consulting, FTI Consulting etc). I would also greatly appreciate any guidance on which firms I should target.
I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback, thank you for your time. Have a great day!
