BCG 🐠: The BCG recruiter I worked with last year said they prefer that people wait at least 1 year before re-applying. Can someone confirm whether this is true?

Do you know the areas you need to work on for making your profile more suitable to BCG? If its a matter of specific skill set you need to acquire through experience it might take a longer time. If its a matter of building quant skill sets then shorter time is ok. If you need to get certifications then its much earlier. So it just depends.
