Just had a BCG R1 today, but it was a fit interview first and an online case second. No idea how I did, but it was quite difficult. Anyone have insight as to how it went for them?

According to friends that interviewed for A/C levels, online case was easier than live case since the data was all presented and you didn’t have to ask or dig for it. Overall, feedback was, R1 was significantly less difficult than R2. Most of my friends received offers.

I’ve felt the opposite. I’ve interviewed for bcg before live casing, and the online case felt harder. Maybe I’m overthinking

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
