BCG Unlock Pre-MBA Summer Program

BCG Unlock

Pre-MBA Summer Program

With BCG Unlock, you will build your skills, expand your network, and gain a firsthand look at what it means to be a consultant at BCG. Through our virtual event series, you will have exclusive access to BCG leaders and consultants, learn about our offices, and get an inside perspective on life at the firm.

What to Expect from BCG Unlock

BCG Unlock is a summer learning program designed to introduce incoming MBA students to the people, perspectives, and experiences that make BCG unique. Through a series of virtual sessions, participants gain an early look at consulting while building skills and expanding their network ahead of the fall recruiting and internship season.

Throughout the program, participants engage in candid conversations with BCG consultants and leaders while connecting with fellow incoming MBA students. You will explore how BCG teams combine deep industry expertise with advanced digital capabilities to help clients tackle some of the world’s most complex challenges.

Participants also hear directly from current BCGers about the opportunities, support systems, and tools that help our people grow and thrive. Each session is designed to give you space to ask questions, gain insight into the consulting experience, and learn more about life at BCG.

BCG Unlock programming is optional and fully virtual, making it easy to participate alongside summer internships or full-time work while exploring what a future at BCG could look like.

Who Should Register for BCG Unlock?

BCG Unlock is primarily designed for participants enrolled in a two-year MBA program who will begin their first year in fall 2026 and are interested in pursuing a summer 2027 internship with BCG.

Because BCG Unlock focuses on preparing participants for the internship recruiting path that leads to full-time consulting roles, the program is intended for first-year MBA candidates rather than second-year or Executive MBA students.
