BCG round 1

Just finished by bcg round 1 associate interview. The first interview went poorly but I nailed the second one. What weights does it interview have? Must I get the approval of both to land the round 2?

First, I would say that your perception may not be the same as that of your interviews. Sometimes people think they have done poorly and still end up with an offer.

Second, the interviewers will confer after the interviews and decide jointly whether to put you through to round 2 or not. Some mistakes in a first interview can be excused by a stellar second interview (to a point).

Third, I would advise you to continue focusing on any remaining applications or interviews you had. Since the outcome is now out of your hands, it doesn't pay to dwell on it.

Best of luck.

Hello there,

In addition to Mihir response, keep studying hard for the second round as the window between the outcome and the next interviews is usually short. If you already know what you have missed, focus on covering this gap.

Best,

Mari
