For those with MBB or other elite summer consulting internships, when does the drug test happen? Do they make you an appointment in the middle of the spring semester, or do you get tested later?
What kind of things would be enough to get you dinged in a background check?

My MBB doesn't drug test and I dont think the others do either.
As for the background check, if you misrepresented something important, expect a ding.
.
you're fucked dude..how hard is it to not to do drugs?
.
now it just seems that you wanted to tell everyone that you work out
Ohhhhhhhhh stfu, you waifs and tell me if I'm going to get tested in the next few weeks, or if I have til summer, or if I won't get tested at all.
well i dont think consulting firms test for P.E.Ds so you might be fine to keep takin em you workout nut
Dude I already told you. Mine doesn't and I don't think any other MBB do either.
If you want a specific answer then name the firm, but making some blanket request for anyone who works even remotely near consulting to enlighten you about their firms' policies is moronic, particularly when it's something you can just stop doing and then not worry about it.
Someone find this guy's identity and email his MBB rep about this thread, hahahah.
Or should I just bring this to 4chan? ;)
You'd be a sick son of a bitch. What'd I ever do to you, amigo?
that's a low blow
Furreal.
Let's say you have a DUI, misdemeanor theft, and an attempted lewd or lascivious act upon a child charge that was eventually dropped (think To Catch a Predator)... any chance HR breezes over these minor indiscretions?
He's just Jelly he isnt as strong and cut up as you
You said it, broseidon
BCG does not drug test in North America. I believe this is true worldwide but cannot guarantee it.
Don't drink water before you go to the healcare center. But do drink water as much as the nurse asks you to drink. My first drug test isn't approved because I drank too much water.
For the international student in the United States, the background check took two months (I am interning in one of BBs). Do pay attention to provide the current contacts of all the references. They would keep asking you to update with the current contacts till they can reach to your former supervisors or co-workers.
Background Checks/Drug Tests Lowdown (Originally Posted: 01/22/2012)
Someone has to be the one to ask...
What do the background checks and drug tests at MBB, etc. entail? When/at what point in the process do they occur? What dings you/gets your offer reneged?
They entail pissing into a cup...
