I've decided to go into the consulting industry for a while, at a top 5 consulting firm. It should be a great experience, and my application -- should I choose to go to law school in two years -- will be much more formidable. Thanks again for all of the insight you guys gave!

A Black male with a 3.55 and a 168, especially with the new reduced comp cycles, has an EXTREMELY high likelihood of getting into Harvard. Once he finishes his consulting job he'll almost be guaranteed.
