BCG R2 - Waiting Time

Hello, I completed R2 NY EH for BCG on Friday May 2. I still haven’t heard back yet (Tuesday)… I am losing hope, since I thought  offers usually came within 2 business days. Can anyone provide context? Should I reach out to the recruiter — they usually still call for rejection, right?

They’ll call you as soon as they’ve made a decision. Chances are, your interviewers just haven’t found time to meet and finalize the call.

It’s totally fine to follow up with the recruiter every 7–10 days. That shows interest—not pressure.

Hi there!

Actually they typically call between 1 to 2 weeks, although there are cases of a waiting period of more than a month.

Don’t worry, HR will always get back, no matter the outcome.

Let’s hope it’s a positive one, good luck! 😊

Best,

Mari
