Hi İrem,

GPA is important but not the only criteria of CV assessment. Uncommon backgrounds like yours are being more and more appreciated in recent years, especially in BCG. As I mentioned some minutes ago to another candidate (https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/help-needed-5216), international and entrepreneurial experiences are the aspects recruiters want to find in the best applications. Therefore your activities have been assessed as extremely interesting :)

Now focus on case preparation!

Good luck,

Antonello

Hi İrem,

definitely not common, usually you are selected for a single office and proceed with the interview process for that only.

In terms of why you passed the screening there may be multiple reasons, the following are some potential answers:

• HR favoured your lifescience background
• HR favoured the leadership experience
• The two offices are looking for more candidates than usual as there is a pick of demand

I agree this is also uncommon though given the low GPA, unless you had a referral.

Best,

Francesco

Hi,

There can be multiple reasons:

• If you selected multiple offices in your application - they can be assessing you for both
• Otherwise, it can be just the recruiting team that is spread out
