GPA low due health situation that impacted first two years of undergrad, made Dean's List final two years at Top 50 undergrad. Have client facing/transaction experience in banking but have been drawn to strategic initiative implementation the past 3 years, leading me to a desire to shift into consulting, specifically strategic/management with a focus on organizational behavior/mergers.
