Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a specific mention of coffee chat invites from BCG recruiters in the NY office. However, there is a discussion about the interview timeline and updates for BCG & Bain 2024 Summer Associate/AC positions. Here are some key points:
If you need more specific information about coffee chat invites, it might be helpful to directly reach out to BCG recruiters or check for updates on the WSO forum thread.
I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?

heard R1 invites will likely go out by end of month.
For BCG, I updated my resume in the application portal and put my cover letter after submitting because I was confused how the site worked.
The deadline for the application isn't for another two week and my application just says its submitted. Am I fine? I emailed the recruiter to make sure, but still waiting to hear
had a similar issue last year. recruiter said it was a-ok.
Ok good, did you end up getting an interview still?
Had a coffee chat with NYC recruiter this week! They said to expect interview invites late next week. Afterwards, 1st round interview would happen the week after and 2nd round the week after that.
This is very helpful! Thanks!
have you heard back?
I have not
I haven't! I think we'll hear the decision eod tmrw, fingers crossed
Any update?
Haven't gotten anything yet! I'm also confused hahah cuz the recruiter I talked to was pretty specific about the dates/timeline and it should've been today. Might also be that I just didn't make it to the next round lmao. Have people heard anything for NYC office?
I haven’t heard either so I’m thinking I just didn’t make it I guess???
On a related note — anyone know if the process will involve Pymetrics and/or the Casey chatbot cases?
This's what I got from the recruiter: The online case is part of the first round of interviews and takes 35 minutes to complete. You must complete the online case in one sitting and will have a designated time block in which to complete the case.
Not v sure about the pymetrics tho.
So the online Casey interview replaces the first round interview? As in if you pass the Casey interview you go straight to final round?
Did you guys network?
bump
yes -- one with my target office and with the global lead from my school. Didn't run any cases w/ them, but got a resume review from the school lead.
has anyone heard back for interviews? cuz on reddit apparently someone heard back so im kinda worried lol
i have not
Has anyone heard back yet??
not yet
Someone I know just got a Chicago Office First Round invite
Update! Just got my invite (nyc office)
Congrats! Would you say ur a target school
Not from target school at all but I got lucky with my referral, I think that's the main reason I got the interview invite (?)
.
Anyone hear from any Texas offices?
just got a first round for northeast office (not sure but i think nyc). semi target school no referral/network
did they say when r1 interviews will be?
yeah my r1 is this wednesday
bump
del
are they going to send more or was that all lol
Did your portal status update? Mine still says under review
Mine says "interviews in progress"
Mine still says in review
just got R1 invite for mid-atlantic office. Is the 20-25 min live interview just a behavioral?
I believe behavioral live, case with chatbot? I’ve heard the chatbot is called Casey?
Are the west coast invites typically later?
Some people got LA invites
Has anyone gotten a rejection? Or if we don’t get an email we can assume that’s what it is?
I got bcg r1, I didn't get bain r1. Bain rejections came out about week and a half after invites and all invites came out within 1-4 hours.
anyone get a interview from a southern office?
heard someone got an ATL interview
del
got R1 invite
anyone heard back from San Diego?
Anyone hear from Brooklyn?
Anyone heard back for sf?
anyone hear back from Nashville office?
Got invite for Chicago (target school in Midwest). I have barely cased at all and am in dire need of a casing partner to literally go all out this weekend. Yes, it is on me, but I have always been prelaw and consulting is more of something to do before law school and something IDC that much about.
dawg what happened to the past year of declaring you’re going to case like crazy?
Extremely burnt out and really do not care about consulting (just the industry where I will do my gap years before law school). Been prelaw my whole life pretty much. But now that I have BCG R1, trying my hardest to prepare and restore the dignity and reputation of my middle-class Asian fam.
ok fair enough good luck brother
Gimme ur number bcoz I need to know who u r
800-722-3727
Were you guys able to add a cover letter?
for those who got a interview, did you guys have referrals?
For those who got r1, are you scheduled for this wed or next wed?
Just received rejection email
so if my app says under review but from this thread some northeast r1 came out, does that mean i was rejected?
got rejection email. networked with ppl at all levels, 4.0 from target school, relevant extracurriculars, big-name work experience. must've been a super competitive cycle
nah its quite literally perfectly random. i had 0 networking with a 3.9 at a semi target school with pretty random extracurriculars and no consulting experience and got an r1 for nyc
For those of yall that got offers, did you have a cover letter?
yes. you had to submit through a portal. cover letter is mandatory (not optional/suggested) for bain and bcg, discouraged at mckinsey.
Where did you find the option in the portal?
when do r2s come out?
my r1 guy said recruiting team meets and discusses on friday, so he'd expect r2 out monday. He said he wasn't sure though.
got it so maybe expect final rounds the week later?
got final round - sa southwest
What is the date final round are scheduled for if you don't mind me asking / has anyone heard back yet for Southeast region?
Not yet
has anyone heard back for NYC yet?
Haven’t heard back - mid atlantic
Got invited to do CCA. Does this mean you made it through the initial screening? Can someone go into detail about this.
Bump
Anyone hear back for NJY?
heard back and moved to final
did u hear back?
anyone hear back from la
heard back, mid-atlantic
Help does anyone know how to reschedule your interview date? I am out of town on the day they gave me for final round.
just email HR
what day(s) is the final round scheduled for?
Sharing what I heard from peers in the SEA office - and there's quite a bit of unhappiness because they are adding an extra BA (Business Analyst) position before Associate for some countries to try to extend the average life cycle. Average person leaves the firm in 2 years currently
A1 = S$6.3k
A2 = S$6.8k
SA = S$9.8k
C1 = S$13.4k
C2 = S$14.3k
PL1 = S$17.3k
Where did you guys get your case interview resources from? I had to get the digital materials from carousell..
Why was the CCA low key so hard
Anyone have updates for Chicago?
Final rounds are running through tomorrow. Hoping to hear back tomorrow evening or thursday.
received call from a partner the night after my interview extending an offer
