Management Consulting Group

What Management Consulting Group does

Management Consulting Group (MCG) is a professional and academic student organization at NYU Stern School of Business that prepares undergraduate students for careers in management consulting. It operates three flagship programs — the Freshman Liaison Program (FLP, targeting Class of 2029), the Core Consulting Committee (CCC, a 10-week case interview and corporate strategy training program for underclassmen), and the Alumni Mentorship Program (AMP, pairing current students with MCG alumni working in consulting) — alongside recurring firm networking events with representatives from McKinsey, BCG, Bain, EY-Parthenon, and Deloitte, plus a curated resource library (PDCE Consulting Guide, case books, Casing Bootcamp recordings).

The organization runs on a deliberately simple technology footprint: a Wix-hosted public website, Google Forms for applications and mailing-list capture, Dropbox for shared resources, and Instagram/LinkedIn for member outreach. There is no proprietary software, no app, no API, and no AI/ML components. The leadership structure consists of 28 student volunteers organized as Co-President, Co-Vice President, Directors across Events, CCC, Marketing, Alumni Relations, FLP, Case Comp, Operations, and Treasurer, plus a Senior Advisor.

MCG is not a commercial enterprise. It charges no membership fees or program fees and is funded through NYU Stern's Office of Student Engagement. All programs and events are free to NYU students. The geographic footprint is restricted to NYU Stern's Greenwich Village campus at 40 West 4th Street, New York, and the customer base is narrowly defined as NYU Stern undergraduates interested in consulting careers. Co-marketing of the Casing Bootcamp Series with the Office of Student Engagement represents the only material institutional partnership in addition to recruiting-side relationships with major consulting firms.

Emerging players

• CaseCoach: Online case interview preparation platform offering AI-driven case practice and prep courses — adjacent to MCG's case-prep offerings and a potential digital substitute for in-person CCC workshops.
• Management Consulted: Commercial case interview prep platform with online courses, case books, and coaching — competes with MCG's resource library on a much larger scale and represents the kind of scaled alternative MCG's content efforts could become.
• PrepLounge: Global case interview prep community with peer practice partners, case libraries, and coaching — broader-scale alternative to MCG's in-person case prep, serving students from many universities including NYU.
