Frequently Asked Questions

There are two main aspects to being a consultant at DCG. First, DCG consultants are able to develop qualitative and quantitative skills in business problem-solving. Although projects differ from term to term, in the past, consultants have worked on developing recommendations for a business problem, drawing conclusions from large datasets, and surveying various populations to help clients achieve their goals.

Secondly, DCG is a great place for students looking for professional development. Our consultants have access to a wide range of resources, including exclusive recruiting events with top companies, early access to job applications, a supportive alumni database, case workshops, and much more.

DCG recruits new members through a competitive application process every fall for freshmen and sophomores. All majors and backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to apply. In terms of class size, we accept around 15-20 consultants per class, which typically results in an ~8-10% acceptance rate.
