BCG Casey invitation received - are grades still considered after document screening?

Hi everyone,
I just received an invitation to BCG’s Casey assessment in the context of a new graduate recruitment for next year. I’m excited but also a bit surprised as my academic background isn’t perfect: I am in a non-target school, and I have a strong recent Master’s GPA but some weaker grades in my Bachelor’s transcript, with some retakes and some F grades, which I had to submit in full. Maybe my CV compensated this.
My question is: does BCG re-evaluate the academic record after the Casey, or can I consider that the document screening is behind me at this stage? In other words, is the invitation to the Casey a sign that school/grades are no longer a deciding factor, or are they still in the mix for the final rounds?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s been through this process. 
Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Resume screening and the Casey assessment are sequential phases, so receiving an invitation to Casey means you’ve already passed the resume screening stage.

That said, your application is still accessible throughout the process. In cases where your assessment or interview performance is borderline, they might refer back to your resume and academic record as a deciding factor. However, if you perform well during the Casey and in your interviews, your resume and past grades should no longer significantly impact the final decision.

Overall, I’d take the invitation as a strong positive signal and focus on preparing for the assessment and interviews.

Good luck!
