When I applied to BCG, I didn’t come from a “target” school. I didn’t have the traditional consulting background or a perfect resume. But what I did have was a strong story — and a clear way of telling it. After doing some strategic networking and taking time to understand what BCG is really looking for, I put together a focused, metrics-driven cover letter that helped me land an interview with the New York office. Now, I’m sharing the exact format and approach I used — and offering a free cover letter template to help you do the same.
