Well this is nostalgic. Stumbled upon this post again when i was googling for something.
And yes it's true that you do have a chance to join management consulting even if you're not from Ivy league. I ended up joining as a fresh grad and im still here to this day. Just be prepared to be resilient. Things do get tough and attrition rates can get pretty scary as most people can't handle the pressure. I can easily say 80-90% of people from my batch are gone. Good learning curve though.
