New Membership Development
Each fall and spring, we are proud to welcome a new member class to the Undergraduate Consulting Group. We are fortunate to receive a high volume of applications, which allows us to build a new member class that is reflective of the strength and diversity of GW’s student body.
All UCG members go through new member training. The sessions, held once per week introduce new members to the consulting industry and teach them the skills necessary to succeed in both recruiting and in the workplace. We place a particular emphasis on recruiting, and we are proud to partner with GW alumni at leading firms to advance these efforts. Additionally, we partner with outside firms that specialize in helping college students enter the consulting industry and are in constant contact with recruiters who hope to meet present UCG members. We are proud of our alumni, who consistently place at top firms across the industry. While GW is (sadly) not considered to be a target school, the Undergraduate Consulting Group consistently has members receive opportunities at firms like McKinsey, KPMG, and other top consulting firms.
