My second round is online but during the interview I will have two "real-life-interviews" each 15 minutes long. How can I prepare for that and what exactly is that?

Hey Marisa!
The "real-life-interviews" at BCG are basically short role plays. They want to see how you react in realistic, often unexpected business situations, so it’s less about the “right answer” and more about your thought process, communication, and interpersonal skills. The best way to prepare is to do role plays with a friend or coach, practicing staying calm, asking clarifying questions, and structuring your response on the spot. It’s actually fun once you get into it! Let me know if you want to practice, I run sessions for that.

Hi Marisa,
I would recommend that you clarify what that means directly with the recruiter.
The format appears to be rather new, so it's best not to speculate.
Presumably, this could either be a role play or it could be a set of situation questions.
Either way, I can't see any good reason why it wouldn't be worth clarifying it all in advance so you can tailor your preparation accordingly.
Best,
Cristian
