Is that worth to travel for BCG and Mckinsey tests?

Hi guys, I live in a European country, where we don't have offices of BCG nor Mckinsey, but i've applied to the nearby country and got invited for the test in both of them. What do you think is that worth to spend money for living and flight? It's probably gonna cost me 1-2k euro I am broke right now, so i was thinking about taking a loan for that, so is that worth it? What if i don't pass, then the money will be wasted

Not sponsored by BCG/McKinsey? Depends on what you value more, the interview which could/could not lead to a job, or save 1-2k euros. But don't take a loan just for an interview, why would it cost so much anyways? A flight + hotel from SYD to EUR is barely 1k.
