BCG Consultant Application Deadline Delayed Indefinitely

Do consultants HONESTLY beleive their own recommendations?

Misdemeanor trespassing and MBB offer
So I ran into a pretty dumb issue that I'm worried will affect an MBB offer.

Hey guys, Is there a prestige that comes with certain development shops?
