Application Process

SUMMER APPLICATION DEADLINE

It’s an exciting time to join BCG! Please apply here by November 20, 2023 at 11:59 PM ET. You will be asked to provide:
  • A resume
  • Your office preference(s)—up to three, weighted to reflect your level of interest in each
  • A cover letter (truly optional—you may upload your resume twice if the system requires an upload and you do not want to submit a cover letter)
  • An indication of your interest in the Digital Consultant role. Digitally-tagged consultants have previous digital/technical work experience and desire to spend a meaningful amount of their career working on and solving digital problems.

Online Case
The application process includes an online problem-solving assessment that must be completed on November 30, 2023 between 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM ET. All applicants are required to take the online problem solving assessment to complete their application. The assessment takes ~40 minutes and must be completed within the above time range.

Pymetrics
If you apply to a US BCG office, you will also receive an email inviting you to play the pymetrics games after you submit your application. These 12 neuroscience-based games provide insight into your cognitive and emotional attributes and your potential for success at BCG. The games take ~25 minutes to play, and you will have 48 hours to play them after receiving the invitation. For more information on pymetrics, please click here. If you have already played the pymetrics games as part of a previous BCG application, you will not be prompted to play the games again as we already have your results on file.
