Insead is not a bad option. :)
What do you mean by top-level consulting? The good Hong Kong schools (HKUST) regularly place MBAs into consulting roles, even in firms like Bain and McKinsey. NUS or Nanyang may also be worth looking at if you're opposed to Insead for some reason.

Yes, I mean the MBB firms. I will apply to Insead no doubt but I was also looking for alternatives / backups. HKUST sounds promising. What do you think of CUHK?

If you're looking at MBB you can't go wrong with Insead - that's a primary funnel for all of those firms.
In terms of Hong Kong schools, I think you'd have better opportunities with HKUST, given its ranking and its reputation among the consulting firms.

What do you think of NUS for consulting roles on its own merits (not compared to Insead). I'm starting at NUS in the fall and I do have a bit of anxiety about getting a job in a good firm after graduating.

It places about one out of every 5 grads into consulting roles, so it's a relatively popular career destination for NUS students. Insead will most likely be better at placing higher up the consulting food chain, in firms like McKinsey and BCC. Salaries will probably be better an Insead as well.

Thank you, that's good to hear. I'm more interested in boutique firms rather than the big ones.

From what I understand through my colleagues who are working in consulting in Singapore, Insead is probably the best bet. The firms also value people who speak multiple languages, especially other Asian languages. At least that's what I've heard...

Probably languages in the other countries where the firms work. I'm guessing Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, etc. but I suppose you can look at makeup of the practice areas at the firms to get a better sense of this. I know for example Bain's Singapore group works closely with the firm's offices in Bangkok / Jakarta / Kuala Lumpur.
