Application outcome

Hello everyone, 

I have selected 3 locations while applying for BCG. A couple of days ago I was invited to take the BCG test. In case I failed the test, will I be rejected from all the 3 locations or will I be rejected from only the first location?

Hello!

Yes indeed, sourcing is done in MBB at a global level. If you don´t pass, you will have a ban to apply. 

The reason for the ban is that you need to add "relevant" experience to your CV, and you need at least 12-18 months for that. 

A referral would for sure help, but after the required months. 

Don´t give up!

Cheers,

Clara

Selection to BCG and MBB in general is at a global level. Which is to say the bar is the same across all offices. You cannot game the system to be selected by a 'less' desirable office vs a more desirable one.

All the best for the test, if you are well prepared you have nothing to worry about

Hi there,

The test works for every location – so if you fail at it, you are unfortunately rejected for all three.

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Hi there,

Unfortunately, yes, you will be rejected from all 3 and will have to wait before reapplying.

Let me know if you need help preparing for the test - I have a recorded video of the experience and a good amount of supporting material + tips.

Regardless, good luck.
