The Application
The written application is five short answers, plus an optional note if there is context you want the recruitment committee to have. If you are invited to interview, you present a take-home case, work through a critical-thinking question, and talk with members about how you work. The interview takes an hour at most.
Why TASK Consulting? What are you hoping to contribute to the organization, and what are you hoping to gain from your experience?
150 words
Tell us about a challenge you chose to take on, not because you had to, but because it mattered to you. What made it difficult, how did you approach it, and what are you most proud of?
200 words
You are given one week, $500, and a team of five Texas A&M students to improve one aspect of student life in College Station. What problem would you tackle, and how would you determine whether your solution actually worked?
200 words
Think of something you interact with often, such as a product, service, process, or experience, that could be designed better. How would you improve it, and why?
150 words
Tell us something about yourself we would never learn from your resume.
150 words
Is there anything else you would like the Recruitment Committee to know when reviewing your application? Extenuating circumstances, resume gaps, and anything similar.
No word limit · Optional
What you need
Take-home case: you present your analysis (15 minutes)
Critical-thinking question (15 minutes)
Behavioral conversation (10 to 15 minutes)
One hour at most. You are judged on your approach, not on the answer.
The case
You receive the case before your interview, prepare on your own, and present your analysis in 15 minutes.
The sample case is TASK Bank, a regional bank modernizing its digital platforms to win back younger customers from fintechs.
Member Experience
Members work in small project teams throughout the semester. Each consultant owns a defined workstream, contributes to client meetings and team discussions, and helps turn research into a coherent final recommendation. Outside the project, members attend general meetings, professional-development programming, and community events.
Time commitment
A weekly general meeting, a weekly team meeting, and independent work on your workstream. Projects run as a 10-week sprint with two client progress meetings and a final presentation.
Consultant
Own a workstream on a client team. Every member starts here, and plenty stay.
Project lead, if you want it
Run a client team for a semester. Open to you after your first one, not expected of you.
Committee, if you want it
Career fair promotion, social posts, and interview support across the year.
Strategy
Frame the problem and choose what to recommend.
Analytics
Build the model or the market sizing your workstream needs.
Storytelling
Turn research into a deck a client can act on.
Client communication
Run progress meetings and handle questions live.
Implementation
Hand over a plan the client can start on the next week.
Every member is staffed on a client project and responsible for work that reaches a real business.
TASK stays small enough to guarantee every member a seat on a client team the moment they join. No bench, no waiting a semester, no internal competition to get staffed.
Members who went through consulting, finance, and tech recruiting a year ahead of you run case practice, read your resume, and tell you what actually happened in their interviews.
Around forty-five people, one general meeting a week, socials through the semester, and a spring banquet. You know everyone by name, not just your project team.
Members visit consulting firms on the all-expenses-paid annual TASK Trip (Spring 2026 was Austin: Accenture, RSM, and BCG) and recruit at the consulting career fair TASK founded and still hosts for the whole campus, next on October 1 at the MSC.
TASK’s internal end-of-semester pitch event. Members develop an idea and pitch it to the whole org, a second round of practice at building an argument and presenting it under questions.
What We Look For
TASK recruits Texas A&M students from any major or classification. We care less about whether you already know consulting language and more about whether you are curious, dependable, thoughtful, easy to work with, and willing to take ownership when the answer is not obvious.
Passion. Innovation. Communication. Dedication.
These are among the top qualities we seek in potential candidates. Consider these throughout your written application and interview. Ask yourself these questions:
How have I demonstrated passion in my life?
How would my colleagues and friends describe me?
What is a time that I’ve thought outside of the box?
How would I describe my communication skills?
What is the typical role I play on a team?

Beyond the Project
Two things outside client work that members point to most: the annual trip to visit firms in person, and the consulting career fair TASK founded and hosts for the whole campus each fall.
Every spring, members travel to visit consulting firms, all expenses paid. Spring 2026 was Austin, with 20 seats and visits to Accenture, RSM, and BCG.
Spring 2025 was Houston, March 20 to 21: a casing activity at Slalom, a networking lunch at Credera, a casing workshop at Simon-Kucher, and a visit to BCG.
Members apply for a seat. Every classification through PhD is eligible.
TASK founded the consulting career fair at Texas A&M and still hosts it. The next one is Thursday, October 1, 2026, at the MSC.
Last time, 11 firms and 21 recruiters came. Members work the fair and upload their resumes to Hire Aggies ahead of it.
Placements
TASK members and alumni bring their project experience into consulting, technology, finance, engineering, research, and entrepreneurship. The organizations below reflect places our people have worked, interned, researched, or built careers.
Questions
No. TASK recruits across majors and values teams that combine business, technical, analytical, and creative perspectives.
No. TASK looks for curiosity, ownership, communication, and the ability to learn. New members are introduced to the project process and supported by project leads and executives.
Yes. TASK’s model is built around staffing members on active client engagements.
One general meeting and one team meeting a week, plus independent work on your workstream. Projects run as a 10-week sprint with two client progress meetings and a final presentation, so the load rises around those.
Yes. TASK accepts Texas A&M students across classifications.
That is normal. TASK projects are a practical way to test consulting work and explore industries before making a long-term career decision.
No. The work is held to a high standard, but TASK is intentionally social and close-knit. Members spend meaningful time together outside formal project work.
A short business case you receive before your interview and present in 15 minutes. The sample case is TASK Bank, a regional bank modernizing its digital platforms to win back younger customers from fintechs. You are judged on your approach, not on the answer.
On how you reason out loud: the questions you ask, the structure you put on the problem, and how you handle a follow-up you did not expect. There is no single right answer.
Interviews begin September 11. Offers, New Member Orientation and the first project day follow that week; the exact dates go out with your interview invitation.
You choose one of two. Project Lead means running a client team for a semester. A Committee is a year-long role covering career fair promotion, social posts, and interview support.
