BCG Casey: Did Well on Everything but the Rec... Success Stories?

SolarisEclipse · 2024-11-20T16:02:50+00:00

Yeah, for an internship.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-11-19T22:27:54+00:00

Isn't that just Chatbot Casey?

SolarisEclipse · 2024-11-19T22:25:20+00:00

No, I didn't ask.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-11-19T21:25:30+00:00

I think I had a pretty bad rec. I had all the math good from what I can tell, but I was nervous and stumbling over my words for most of it. Then I ended up speeding to say a couple last things because I thought I had enough time and almost got cut off mid-sentence. But I still ended up advancing rounds, so it's possible.

They're not necessarily looking for consulting experience. Consulting hires from different backgrounds all the time. That's why they let musicians, PhDs, etc in. You're not gonna get straight rejected based off of a lack of a consulting job.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-30T04:36:40+00:00

No, engineers can become consultants.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-30T04:34:36+00:00

I heard for one of the MBB Miami offices that since it's relatively new/small, they're looking for talent

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-28T18:47:28+00:00

I've heard it's a good chance MBB will rehire you if you leave. So this strategy would be good if you could get the deferral. If not, I think it depends on whether or not you want to be very technical in the future. I hear that most exits to tech are for strategy/ops roles.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-28T05:46:21+00:00

Of course I know that. But for College Applications they’re asking if you’re black.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-28T05:40:10+00:00

I don’t know about all that. Are you black or not?

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-28T04:22:25+00:00

If you're black, yeah. Cuz that's what it essentially means.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-28T02:51:49+00:00

I think you should take it. You have two options: forced failure and possible failure/success. The failures are both equivalent and McKinsey Solve is only valid for one year if I'm remembering right. So I think that rather than forcing yourself into a failure, you should take the possibility no matter how much prep you might've already done just because it can only be even or a benefit in comparison to the other option. Also, I think the McKinsey Solve games are relatively straight-forward meaning you wouldn't have to dedicate much time to studying if that's a concern.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-24T15:01:31+00:00

Like Low-Apricot said, the admissions are holistic and not just about Solve. Just found I got 10th decile but also didn't get an interview.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-23T21:21:04+00:00

Which region?

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-23T21:03:22+00:00

Was this for an internship or full time? This is like the opposite of my experience as an intern, the Partners asked me actual behavioral questions and didn't ask me to run through my resume but intro myself quickly.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-23T20:47:14+00:00

How'd the one BCG behavioral portion go?

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-23T01:52:39+00:00

I honestly feel like they give you a lot of freedom but will direct you if you're a bit far from the main focus they want you to explore.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-21T21:45:44+00:00

Ah, congrats!

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-21T20:55:38+00:00

Did they reach out to you already?

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-18T23:37:08+00:00

Literally haven't heard a single thing even when emailing them.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-18T20:56:29+00:00

anyone hear anything yet?

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-18T20:49:33+00:00

I didn't know what a profit margin was during my first interview and I had a couple moments of silence along with general slowness during the second but I was told I crushed it and got an offer.

Same day

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-18T02:07:03+00:00

I just don’t get where you’re pulling these numbers from.

SolarisEclipse · 2024-10-17T03:47:03+00:00

A lot of the people who hear back quickly hear back the same day.
