MA1, I am not sure you’re answering the question for OP. @OP, usually just one factor such as GPA does not affect your application overall, unless you were told you were rejected for low GPA (which I doubt). Good scores however do help your application overall and I am hoping you go to one of those top Bschools that should make getting into the door relatively easy
I was told “academics”. No MBA and underwhelming undergrad was mentioned (not in those words). Hoping to dodge B School if possible for now (expense and 2 years off work, thinking exec MBA down the road). I have 4 years in transaction services and 1 year in M&A pre deal strategy role. Trying to see if a referral from a higher up, another year experience and a high GMAT can get me over the hump and in for an interview if I apply again in 11 mos.
Why do you want to join BCG? There are many great company’s out there that would probably enjoy having you and which you would actually enjoy working for. Work experience is greater than a high score on a standardized test.
Currently in an M&A role and want to get some true strategy experience. BCG for 2 reasons, exit ops and true strategy experience to see if I enjoy that type of work
