Boston Consulting Group (BCG) . have a R1 EH interview coming up, any advice on prepping for the behavioral portion?

(I know this was fast because I’ve interviewed with Meta before and it was more like a month between hiring manager and full loop). I was told I would hear in 2 weeks or so on a decision. During this time I got another offer. I let meta know the update. Was told I was top pick but had to wait for…
