BCG Unlock

BCG Unlock is a summer learning program that introduces incoming MBAs to the insights and experiences that make BCG unique. Through BCG Unlock, you can get a head start on the Fall recruiting internship season, building your skills and growing your network through a series of virtual events. 

If eligible for BCG Unlock, you can expect personal, candid dialogue with BCG consultants and leaders, as well as your pre-MBA peers. You’ll get to explore how our transformational work and digital capabilities help our clients solve the world’s toughest problems. You’ll also hear firsthand from current BCGers about the opportunities, support systems, and tools we offer to help you grow in your career and beyond. Every BCG Unlock conversation is a chance to ask what you’ve always wanted to know about the consulting industry and BCG. 

BCG Unlock programming is optional and virtual, designed to easily fit into your summer schedule even if you are still working full-time.

If you have any questions, please email mba.recruiting@bcg.com.

Eligibility
BCG Unlock participants must be enrolled in a 2-year MBA program, entering their first year in the fall of 2024 and interested in interning in the summer of 2025. Please note, BCG Unlock is not for second-year, one-year, or executive MBAs since it focuses on our internship experience as a path to full-time consulting positions. If you are a dual-degree student (e.g. MD/MBAs, JD/MBAs, etc.), you are eligible to register for Unlock, and we encourage you to do so the spring before you begin the first year of your MBA program.

When registering for BCG Unlock, please use your respective school email if you already have it. We welcome applications from any pre-MBA student but particularly encourage applications from the programs listed below.
