For college seniors you know of who got invited to interview with BCG this spring cycle, what is their background (school tier, previous internships, gpa) etc my friends and i from target school got rejected and we have solid work experience. The recruiting for bcg seems to be opaque and really wanna understand what kind of ppl got a pull

- A simple search on LinkedIn on BCG associates would tell you about their educational background, work experience, and extracurricular activities
- For me personally: top public school, STEM majors, 4.0 GPA, a bunch of internships in engineering and finance, volunteering, etc. A lot of my colleagues are similar in credentials

I wasn’t asking about the general caliber of BCG hires, ofc i did the search myself haha. I wanted to know specifically for THIS recruiting season esp given the halt last fall, what kinds of ppl got pulls.

I also go to a top public school, stem major, above threshold for gpa a bunch of internships etc. got pulls from bain and mckinsey last fall, but none of my friends who are in the same boat/profile as I, have gotten good news from BCG. This year with covid recruiting has not been transparent, and we were ecstatic when bcg msged us on handshake to apply for consulting full time after graduation. But to our expectation we didnt get a chance...

If u don’t mind me asking, did u get rejected after pymetrics?

Your responses to everyone on here makes you sound like a dick . Maybe that’s the answer - “non-dicks got interviews “

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad.
