BCG Application Status

I've applied for the full time associate role in BCG in September and 2 weeks ago I received an application status update to "Application Under Review" and a mail with the dates of the assesments.

Does mean that I've been selected for the first phase or not ?

Hey there, 

It sounds like 2 weeks ago your application went under consideration, and by virtue of getting assessment dates means you've been accepted to start the going through the recruitment process. 

Now is the time to prepare solidly for interviews :-) 

Wishing you all the best

Hi there,

Q: I received a mail with the dates of the assessments. Does mean that I've been selected for the first phase or not ?

If you have received an email with an invitation for the assessment, you have passed the first screening step.

Good luck!

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, the application status "application under review" usually means that the recruiting department is assessing your application.
  • Moreover, however, if you have already received an invitation to the first interview round, you have obviously already passed the screening stage. Congratulations!

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming BCG pre-interview assessments and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Great news! It means you'll get the online assessment, but it does not guarantee that you will make it to the first round of interviews. This is a good sign, though, and you should be going full steam ahead on case/fit prep. 

If you would like to chat with a coach who has interviewed for BCG recently (left Oct 20224), don't hesitate to reach out! I can give you tailored coaching on the case and fit you can expect for the first-round and decision-round interviews.
