I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2012
Interview
I applied for one of their international positions through my school's career development site. I initially applied and within one week, I received a phone screen from a recruiter. Afterwards, I was invited to an on-site interview in Chicago (that's where they did all the interviews for all international hires). In Chicago, I have 2 1:1 interviews with senior analysts. The first half of each interview was a case study and the later detailed our background and interests in BCG.

The interview process is intentional and deeply requires one to study extremely hard in order to be successful. They use actual cases in the interview and hence it requires one to look at case studies and practice with a friend.

You apply through website. They then screen your application. You get invited to case study preparations, where they prepare you for the interview and let you ask questions. Then you have your case interviews. The interviews consist of fit interviews and then the actual case. That’s as far as I got.
