Sourced facts
Consulting Club on the Raymond A. Mason School of Business undergraduate student organizations page describes a student-run organization for all majors interested in consulting. It is a place to build skills, network, and share resources. The club hosts information sessions and workshops on resume building and networking, and a preparation program for consulting interviews that follow an industry-specific format. Alumni consultants may speak about their paths.

General guidance
The guidance below holds for competitive consulting and finance clubs as a category. Confirm dates and steps on the club's own page or with its officers before you rely on them.
- Competitive clubs at most schools recruit once or twice a year, usually early in the fall and sometimes again in the spring. The window is short and often announced only on club channels, so join the mailing lists in your first weeks on campus.
- Club applications usually ask for a resume and short written answers, and interviews usually pair a behavioral conversation with a short case or a market sizing question. Treat it as a first recruiting cycle, because it is one.
- If your school has no consulting or finance club with a real application process, project based experience carries the same weight: student consulting groups, investment funds, case competitions, and research roles.
- Confirm every date and step on the club's own page or with its officers. This dossier adds school specific facts only when an official source supports them.
