Mine was way more conversational. No really defined questions, just talks about my experience and his, then a quick case

Same stuff, just more senior interviewers.

Conversation and behaviorals matter a lot more, though your case needs to be “good enough”.

Important to demonstrate intellectual curiosity and passion in whatever it is that makes you “you” — doesn’t matter how obscure... I’ve known botanists, public transit enthusiasts, and priests get a job at MBB

Sounds like I’ll need to be prepared for anything haha. Usually final rounds are with partner or senior level interviewers, correct?

I felt like there was more emphasis on the cases in my final round. Both the Principal and Partner whom i interviewed with left only a bit of time for conversation/questions. I’ll be joining BCG after I finish up my MBA next year.
