New York University Consulting Club (NYUCC)

NYU Consulting Club is a group of PhD students and postdocs interested in learning more about consulting careers in the life sciences. We are based at NYU Langone Medical Center, however, we accept members from all over the greater graduate NYC community. Here, you can network with people with similar interests, practice for case-based interviews together, and attend company recruiting events.
