Does anybody have any advice when applying to postings with many applicants and getting noticed? The company I am interested in is Figma, and though I reached out to a few technical recruiters after applying through LinkedIn, I am wondering if there might be something more I could do that maybe I’m not thinking about. Also along those lines, if anybody here works for figma I would love the chance to connect

you already work at BCG; i’m sure you’ll do fine if you put in the time studying. but i think it’s important to get above that 700.
Important to check the box with a 720+
Very, actually. Top MBA’s look for diversity in cohort profiles. So consultants are in a sense competing against other consultants, specifically, as well as the full applicant pool.
🙌
Classes are curated to have a certain mix of PE/IB, consulting, Brand / Product mgmt, non-profit/gov., military, foreign and donors.
You’ll be put in a pile with the other consultants and will compete against them for slots.
Given this there may be increased pressure on your score as the consulting group will - on balance - score higher than some other sets (not for profit, marketing, donors, government, etc.). If I were you I’d see 720 as a floor and aim even higher.
Haha it’s a bank shot strategy, going to spend the next year working on one of the presidential campaigns, or for a non-profit would certainly help, but if I were in OP’s shoes I’d study really hard and then apply to H/S/W/K/B Columbia and MIT. Any of those are great and OP will get into one depending on their score.
I would say 670 is minimum, but be ready to explain why the "low" mark. Have a good case on why you fell below your expectations.
Thanks all for the responses thus far. I probably should have clarified a little: I actually have quite an atypical background and am no longer at BCG (something totally different) so I imagine I wouldn’t be competing against other consultants applying directly from firms. Not sure if this helps or not?

Just study. The test isn’t so bad
