Congrats for getting in with full scholarship :cheerio:

From what I know, placements for this year have been better then the last year but the situation is still bleak. However, this is true for each and every top school (eg. My friend at TUCK still hasnt been able to find anything). Lets hope things will be better by 2012.

Its definitely possible to break into social/non profit consulting. If you look at the placement stats, you would find few companies who did hire internationals for this industry. However, you would have to back this up with your past work experience, desire and industry specific skills.

As far as the cost goes, DC is expensive. A lot of desis(indians) stay somewhere in Virginia where the cost of living is low. Still, you should consider a budget of atleast $1000 per month. I have PMed you my number. Its best to call me during weekends. I am in the east coast.
