Hi there,

Congrats on passing the online test – that’s a great first step!

For the 15-minute first-round interview, especially since BCG Lagos specified it will focus on fit and motivation, you should prioritize:

  • Why consulting?
  • Why BCG (and specifically BCG Lagos)?
  • Why now / why you?
  • Clear examples that show leadership, problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience.

It's unlikely this short session will include a full case. However, do be ready for a light business discussion or a mini case-style question (e.g., “Tell me how you’d approach solving XYZ”). So have your structured thinking ready, just in case.

The second round is more likely to contain formal case interviews.

Focus on your story, motivations, and communication clarity for this first one – and good luck!

Happy to help you prep – feel free to reach out.

Best,
Evelina

If they’ve said it’s fit and motivation based, you will not have a case. 15 mins only is also an indicator.

Nonetheless, I’d suggest starting your case prep as early as possible!
