I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Boston, MA)
Interview
Networking is key to get a interview slot. Very important to identify the office of choice and have a strong reason as to why that office suits you well. Half the battle is behavioral, so trying to "crack" only the case interview may not be sufficient. Need to front load the networking and get into the list of interviews and then focus on working on the case interview. BCG case interviews are usually open ended unlike other consulting firms. You are expected to drive the process by yourself.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No bouncers, straight forward questions. The case can be tricky at time, esp. the second round ones which are with the partners
Muy estándar, en total 2 rondas con 2 entrevistas cada una. La primera ronda suele ser más fácil, pero la última con los partners sí te hacen mucho stress test y challenge.

I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Kuala Lumpur)

Got to second round with 4 different interviewees who were all generally quite laid back and easy to talk to. Case studies were quite challenging but interviewees will guide you through it.
