Completely bombed? No. Struggled a bit + hit a home run on the other interview? Maybe

I struggled quite a bit in R1 and still got the offer (only one live case, the other was computer based). It was truly one of the most challenging cases I had ever seen - NGO client, investment management objective, data presented as unstructured bullet points. I think I was successful by consistently finding the insights, tying them back to the case question, and revising/leading with my next hypothesis. That and hoping everyone else struggled just as much!

To preempt a bunch of questions: generalist Consultant role, NAMR, no I can’t provide more details about the case without potentially violating the confidentiality agreement

What do u mean next round? I’ve got an offer from BCG recently and I only did two rounds?

Sorry I meant 1st round
