Hi there,
I am a graduate of a university that top consulting firms come to campus for recruitment. Is it better to apply through campus or websites of consulting firms?

Definitely through the campus recruiting!
Having been both on the side of BCG recruiting in campuses as well as an MBA student at London Business School, I can vouch for the effort that consultancies put into campus recruiting. So they are motivated to get their effort rewarded by good candidates they can move into interview phase.
Of course, all other advice applies: mindful networking (and you have a truly wonderful opportunity there), very strong application, top interview prep.
Good luck!

It's wonderful that you go to a target school - you can truly make the most of this opportunity from a recruitment perspective! Go for all the campus recruiting events, talk to and engage with all of the people there. Tell them how interested you are in applying and why and then ask them the best way to apply for you. Do not just apply randomly online as you will lose all these advantages you have going for you.
You should apply through campus, as they may want to “process” you as a batch, with specific timelines, etc. They may also have a target number of offers and it's better to be under the campus recruiting for that reason.
Hi there,
Q: Is it better to apply through campus or websites of consulting firms?
I would recommend applying via campus recruiting and if possible with a referral.
