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,

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.
Hi, I confirm the rejection will be for all the geographies you inserted
Best,
Antonello
