1 month of no response BCG Casey?

I finished my Casey test more than a month ago, around 27 March. However, I have not received a response until now. My friend who did Casey around my time was rejected 3 weeks ago, and another friend of my already received an offer 2 weeks after her interview. 

This is my position for Associate intern in a SEA office. I plan to apply full-time position next year after my graduation. So if I fail Casey, I may need to wait 6 months to re-apply. So should I withdraw now to secure my chances of applying later, or should I email the HR?

Hey there,

I recommend reaching out to the recruiting team and request an update on the status of your application / results post Casey. This is normal and is something the recruiting team get often. It won't harm your chances

It may be the case that your results have already been processed, so you withdrawing won't change the fact that there'll be a 1 year application ban from that point of view. And then on the other more positive side, imagine that you have passed and then withdraw yourself from the process. We wouldn't want to self-sabotage ourselves :-) ... so that's why I highly recommend reaching out to the recruiting team!

All the best

hey there!

I would recommend that you don’t withdraw yet — instead, email HR to politely follow up. A month with no response is longer than usual, and it's reasonable to ask for an update. Withdrawing won’t guarantee faster reapplication eligibility, and if you’re still in the process, withdrawing could close it prematurely. A brief, professional check-in shows interest without hurting your chances. Let me know if you want help drafting the message.

Best, Alessa

Hi there,

Q: So should I withdraw now to secure my chances of applying later, or should I email the HR?

I agree with Thabang, even if you withdraw, they might have already screened your test. As a consequence, I don’t see the benefit of withdrawing, as they might still consider it a rejection in their system, if you failed the test. On the other hand, you might have passed the test, and if you withdraw, you will lose the chance to interview.

For this reason, I would recommend reaching out to HR and asking for an update.

Good luck!

Hi there,

Adding to the points above, I recommend you start to study for the case interview, as if you have indeed passed, the invite may come to the following week after the confirmation.

Fingers crossed!

Best,

Mari
