BCG London - upcoming interview tips

Hi! I have an upcoming interview with BCG London. I'm looking to hear from candidates who have gone through the process recently (last 1-2 years). What was your experience like?

What was the case like?

Any areas which are very crucial to focus on?

**Only looking to hear from real candidates and not PL coaches**

Hi there,

I totally understand that you don't want to hear from Pl coaches, but I feel the responsibility to tell you that you're going about this wrong.

Hearing from a few people from their BCG London interview 1-2 years ago isn't going to help. In fact, it will probably hurt you as you'll start to expect things…which is incredibly dangerous.

Be ready for any case and focus on all areas…be flexible and adaptable…don't try to predict what will happen or you're setting yourself up for failure!

Hello!

Despite you mention that you don´t want to hear from coaches, I don´t think you will get much from hearing a couple of data points from candidates, particularly in an office that is as big as the London one. Everything will be rather anecdotical, and the way to be ready to succeed is to be ready to face anything, and doubling down on the “usual” type of cases, that are most times repeated 

Cheers, 

Clara
