So I noticed BCG only offer two location selections. Is it bad to select NYC and Brooklyn as the choices if I only want to go to New York. I read somewhere saying that selecting Brooklyn (since it's less competitive than NYC) might be showing that you are trying to play with the system and you still only will be considered for NYC. Looking for advices.

hi!
If you only want to be in New York, selecting NYC and Brooklyn is completely fine. From what I heard from a friend in the NYC office, they do not interpret this as trying to game the system. Both offices are in the same metro area and often collaborate closely, so it does not send a negative signal.
That said, you should only list Brooklyn if you would genuinely accept an offer there. If you would decline it anyway, better to be transparent and just choose NYC.
best,
