No offense but how are we supposed to know why you got rejected when we don’t have information about you or your situation?
Just because you didn’t make it though one resume screening doesn’t mean you did anything wrong. It happens. No one is gonna get 100% success, unless by luck
No one will know- also a referral isn’t a guarantee of an interview

Probably the clown nose. Should be left at home next time.
6 months of experience shouldn’t be an issue to getting the first round interview if you’re coming from a T2. I would see if there are other areas that may be a blocker (some people in this thread have already pointed out possible factors).

Nothing wild to flag ahead. Know your stories well and be able to case well with minimal math mistakes, I’ve been dinged before when I made calculation errors in final rounds. I think on average, BCG cases are a little more numerical focused than say, Bain’s cases.
Where did you go to undergraduate
My bad haha, sarcasm can be hard to detect on the internet
Pro
Probably not exclusively that but it doesn’t help
GPA, work experience type, location preference, degree, etc. Lots of possible factors
BCG rejected my app when I was at a T2 with 6 months of experience as well, and my internships were in IB so idk
Wasn’t a fit. Why wasn’t it a fit, who knows.
