BCG partner from my school agreed to have a phone chat months ago. I can schedule whenever. Goal of the call will be to get a referral. Should I have it now or wait a couple months since BCG isn’t currently hiring?

This. I would say talk in next few weeks and really get to know him / her. It won’t be useful until next year though, I had a partner + 2 consultants pulling for me and BCG still said not until next year
