PL interview is basically discussions with Partners. They will each give you a case but at least in my experience we spent less than 1/2 the interview on it. Much more time on discussion about past experiences, goals, why BCG etc. Even though the cases were short they were no joke. I think the Partners make up their minds pretty quickly in to the case and you should be pretty good at solving case problems at that level.

achievements, your profile does not match our current needs.  We have therefore decided not to pursue your application at this time. We do hope, however, that you will consider reapplying to BCG after acquiring some additional experience.”

Finishing with
“We do hope to hear from you again.”
Are they serious or is this just B/S?

For Experienced Hire recruiting at BCG, they only do it once a year (or do a majority of hiring). I interviewed with them this year after they gave me a stock rejection last year. It turns out they had already finished Experienced Hire recruiting in September when I applied
