What if you didn’t go to a target school? What if you’re an international student who needs sponsorship? Does that mean MBB is out of reach?

Michael Liu is living proof that the answer is no. In this episode, Japheth sits down with Michael, an undergraduate student from Taiwan who defied the odds to land a BCG internship.

Michael shares the exact steps he took to break in, including:

  • How he built a powerful networking strategy
  • Overcame the sponsorship hurdle
  • Prepared for both case and behavioral interviews

His story is full of practical insights and encouragement you can apply to your own recruiting journey — whether you’re at a non-target school, navigating visa questions, or just looking for that extra edge.
