BCG No Offer - "Good Fit, Good Case, Not Creative" - Can I reapply in 6 mos / or now to a different office??
Hi All,
I recently got bad news from my BCG final round interview. Apparently I was very engaging on the fit portion and I solved the case and quant but my answers were "canned." On top of all this my current VC firm is shutting down and I don't know what to do. I applied before as an experienced candidate two years ago and also made it to the final round before getting dinged. I don't want to sound desperate, but I feel like I was so close this time around that I should go through the process again as soon as possible while the interview skills are fresh. From folks familiar with the consulting recruiting process, could I just reapply to another nearby office and move or should I wait 6 months and try again. What will it look like trying a third time?
18 month minimum requirement to reapply to BCG
The recruiter mentioned to me that I can apply again after 6 months. I've read that they give this advice to applicants that made it to the second round and did well but not well enough.

If he brought up the opportunity to apply again on a shorter notice than usual, I would definitely take it.
There is a lot of de-averaging among rejected candidates, and to be within the "deserving of another shot" list is really encouraging. Usually, most no-gos are tied to personality/fit and/or problem solving skills, and those candidates are very unlikely to be ever given an offer.
One advice I'd give is to be extremely sharp on your second try; as someone who's been through at least 4 BCG interviews and left a good impression, you can be 100% sure any interviewer will really hold you to the highest of standards.
