Hello,
I recently finished my BCG Online Case and feel that I totally bombed it. I feel like I did good when it came to the qualitative short answers and multiple choice but I do not feel good at all about the quant questions ( Casey keep telling me that “The information was useful”, “Great”, so i dont know if this means anything). I also froze during the one minute recommendation but manage to finish it, a bit choppy. I followed the 5 R's when it came to the video, Recap, Recommendation, reasons, risks and retain. Is the test a gate to the next round or is CV and CL still on play? In your professional opinion, am I done for this years recruitment cycle or do I still have a shot? Any answers are welcomed

Thanks for the answer Nick! I finish the case about 3 days ago, when do you usually hear back? and yes I have applied to other firms.
Turnaround time on results usually vary by office locations (Bain London and McK London offices have more similar turnaround time vs Bain London and Bain Tokyo). I would give it a couple more days - perhaps drop the recruiting team a note by Thursday. In the meantime, try to keep that out of your mind and focus on other processes. Fortunately the online case assessment format is quite unique to BCG, so hopefully you have more success on other case assessments. Happy to provide more advice on how best to prep for other firms!
