What we look for
VCG analysts are recruited at the beginning of every semester through a competitive process that requires an application, short behaviorial interview, and case interview with members of the Executive Board.
VCG values problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn, and innovative intution. Consulting requires its practitioners to approach client work methodically and structurally. These skills are evaluated in the case interview portion. No consulting experience is necessary.
In our application and interview process, we look for the ability to look at a problem, identify key considerations, determine solutions, and communicate your solutions and why they are effective.

Of course! We love analysts with a wide variety of backgrounds and certainly don't limit our applicant pool to just commerce students.
Our acceptance rate varies every year. For the Spring 2021 recruitment cycle, our acceptance rate for new members hovered around 10%.
Yes! You can apply to be a PL as long as you demonstrate commitment, organization, and passion. We’ve had second and third years join the club as PLs and do amazing things.
Every project timeline will look similar to the sample project timeline found under Client Services. VCG will also offer trainings, workshops, and social events throughout the semester.
