This guy has the whole spring recruiting season still coming, so I am not sure what the panic is all about. If the MBA recruiting calendar is light, you could see if you can piggyback on the undergraduate recruiting program. I'd also look at any career or job fairs in NYC or at the UConn campus and try to snag an interview there as well. Honestly, I can't imagine that he'd be unable to get an offer from at least a Big 4 firm doing consulting, particularly if you were willing to locate to where they need people (vs. just stay in Conn.).
If you are interested in Atlanta, there is a famous Yale MBA prof. (you probably know who I am talking about) who lives in Atlanta, has a boutique consultancy firm there and is very well connected there. I would try to take one of his classes and ask him if he knows anyone hiring in Atlanta.
I have a very, very difficult time believing that you can't find post-MBA employment having attended Yale's business program. That is one of the few programs where paying full-sticker price doesn't result in a financial quagmire after graduation. The name alone should provide you with employment opportunities at most investment banking firms on wall street.
Troll...
I'm attending rank 25 MBA, got interview at 8 bulge bracket for IB associates, bcg, 2 hedge fund and 1 private equity. Received 3 offers. Accepted 1 (obviously).
Does it worth to go back to school and get your MBA? I know friends from top 10 schools and I usually get $125k+ base salary and $15k+ signing bonus. What about top 25 MBA programs? Do you still receive similar offers?
The recruiting at the TOP programs, like Yale, is absurd.. So he probably pushed the panic button too soon.
That said... Even at TOP programs you still must do well in class, network, conduct your self professionally and present yourself well of the program just becomes a piece of paper.

If you can get in top 20 MBA programs then you will mostly receive a $125k base salary offer. At least this the common entry level salary at top consulting firms. However, most of these graduates will not survive in the consulting environment and will probably get laid off in 2 years. Do not forget that top consulting firms will only keep the best of the bests. I know many consultants from top top programs. They had great start in their career and were laid off in 2 years. They were able to find other jobs but these jobs were not paying as much as the consulting jobs.
MBA will not teach you everything and will not guarantee a long successful career. It will open you a great door but it will be in your hands to stay at the top.
