BCG Unlock

Pre-MBA Summer Program
BCGers don't just unlock potential in their clients. They unlock it in each other.
The 2021 registration period for BCG Unlock is now closed.

Please read below if you'd like to learn more about our annual Unlock program. We plan to re-open registration for the 2022 Unlock program in April 2022. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at mba.recruiting@bcg.com.
BCG Unlock is a summer learning program that introduces incoming MBAs to the people, insight, and experiences that will enrich their skills, knowledge, and relationships as they set out on the exciting-yet-challenging journey ahead.

​​​​​​​As a participant in BCG Unlock, you can expect personal, candid dialogue with BCG consultants and leaders, as well as your pre-MBA peers. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at our transformational work and digital capabilities, and dive deep into the opportunities, support systems, and tools we offer to help our people be their best. Every conversation will be an opportunity for you to ask the questions that are on your mind as you begin your life-changing year in these evolving times.
