Recently had a first round with BCG. One case went very well and the second not so much. Am I screwed? Any insight or thoughts on the decision making process?

If it is a split decision they will ask you to case once more. You aren't screwed.

In most cases both interviewers have to say yes. So you are in the risk zone, depends on how good or bad second case was

M2 has no clue. The only "case again" is final round. Answer is: it depends, mostly on how good the good one was.

You're more likely screwed than not. Unless someone is willing to fight for you, you won't make it. Now if you absolutely crushed one and somewhat screwed the other, you may be okay... but chances are they'll have seen 10-12 people that day, 3-4 of which did well in both, so...
