I have a friend at a top management consulting firm and doing quite well there with a mid-level Canadian MBA. Like mid-level by Canadian standards (not Toronto, McGill or anything like that, probably 1 in 25 American professionals has even heard of it).

For a top firm like M/B/B, outside of extreme nepotism chances of getting in with hacksaw credentials is zero. Chances of apocalypse happening in the next year are more likely.
