I applied for BCG associate on the august 23 deadline and still have not heard anything back. I know someone of my friends got denial emails pretty early on but I am confused because I feel like it has been a long time without hearing anything. I applied to the nyc and chicago offices fwiw
Hello,
Definitely reach out to HR and politely ask for an update on your application. It's been quite some time since your application deadline, and there may have been some administrative lag or error on their end, so it is worth checking in.
Unfortunately recruiters are still taking a bit of time to get back to candidates. But one month is enough time, and given that your friends already got their answers, there's reason to be worried that something went wrong in the communication process.
So you should reach out to HR to ask them for an update.
Hi there,
It's a bit suspicious indeed that you haven't heard back even though it's been a month already. I would definitely reach out to the recruiter and ask for an update on your application.
Best,
Cristian
i would recommend to reach out, despite that long time can be normal due to the amount of work. Still reach out and ask.
Good luck!

Hi there,
Q: I applied for BCG associate on the august 23 deadline and still have not heard anything back.
Given one month already passed, it is totally fine to follow up at this stage. I would call HR so that you can get prompt feedback.
Good luck!

It’s really hard to know what’s going on without asking the recruiting team - I recommend giving them a call and asking them politely if they can give you an update. Good luck!
If you have not heard anything in a month while others have then you should reach out to the recruiter to clarify. If you are a strong candidate based on the school you go to/GPA/past work experience then it could well be that they are evaluating your application.
That is indeed a long time to wait for a response if others in the same process heard back already. Be proactive and follow up. Also you should apply for similar positions in other consulting firms if you are interested in landing a consulting job. As you can see from your experience, sometimes answers take a long time to come in and you don't want to have to start from scratch in case they are rejection notices.
Best of luck
I am in a similar situation. Is there any contact number to follow up process? their website doesn't seem to have that number.
Hello!
It's indeed odd (tough, no news=good news at this point, after what happened to others). Kindly follow up with HR, and let's see if here some other candidate gives you some light.
Cheers,
Clara
Hi there,
Honestly, it's not looking great. Reach out to HR to see if there's an update. As always, please remember there are a million other great companies out there. Keep networking + applying to everywhere else!
Hi - Just reach out to HR.
