Interested in working with extremely smart people within the professional services industry, advising VP’s & CEOs? Interested in a career in Strategic Management Consulting working for firms like McKinsey, Monitor, BCG, Deloitte, Bain, Accenture etc….? Your best opportunity to get into the wonderful world of consulting exists only at UBC through the Sauder Strategic Consulting Mentor Program (SCMP).

The SCMP is totally unique to Sauder and it is a solid opportunity for anyone interested in consulting or working in strategic management functions. It requires a great deal of effort on the part of each participant, but the rewards are definitely worth it: the successful graduates of this program are given an opportunity to interview with at least 6 top consultancies in the world (McKinsey, BCG, Bain etc.). That is more than any of the other top-tier MBA schools can offer.

Join us on Thursday, January 23 at 12:45 – 1:45 pm in HA 492  to learn more about the program, the selection criteria and about practical business tools that you acquire if you are chosen to this program.

RSVP on COOL by January 22!

As a follow-up to the earlier blog post regarding transcripts, I wanted to clarify the points and instructions. Most internship postings do not ask for transcripts. However, it is worth being prepared. 

Please follow these guidelines: 

 1. Official Transcripts: If an employer asks for an official transcript, your only source for that is Brock Hall (Please visit the following website for further instructions on how to obtain your current transcripts: http://www.students.ubc.ca/coursesreg/transcripts/.)

2. Unofficial Transcripts: When an employer asks for a transcript but doesn’t specify “official”, please use one of the following options: 

 A) Best Practice: The gold standard is the official transcript and for < $10, it is a good investment. See link above. 

 B) Alternative: The next best source for an unofficial record of your academic work at Sauder is the “Academic History” document. We have arranged with the graduate programs office to make these available to you at no charge.  If you need an Academic History document, we would be happy to send you a PDF copy that you can then add to your document tab on COOL for those postings that request it.

Please adhere to the following instructions:

• Notify Carly by email only (carly.boettcher@sauder.ubc.ca) with a minimum of 24 hours notice
• You will receive an email from Carly with your document attached
• Please do not come to the front desk asking to have your document immediately. Follow the above procedure. 

Thank you for your cooperation,

Ian Christie, MBA                                                                                                                Director, Graduate Career Services
