BUCG application process on the Apply page: submit resume and application; chosen applicants are invited to a case interview with BUCG leadership; selected candidates are invited to join. The page listed an application deadline of Sat, Sep. 12th @ 11:59 PM. The page is internally inconsistent about the cycle (its poster promotes Fall 26 while its closing line still reads 'Spring 2026 Programs'), and on access day 2026-10-23 that Sep 12 deadline should be treated as past and closed. Confirm the current cycle on the Apply page or club channels.

General guidance
The guidance below holds for competitive consulting and finance clubs as a category. Confirm dates and steps on the club's own page or with its officers before you rely on them.
- Competitive clubs at most schools recruit once or twice a year, usually early in the fall and sometimes again in the spring. The window is short and often announced only on club channels, so join the mailing lists in your first weeks on campus.
- Club applications usually ask for a resume and short written answers, and interviews usually pair a behavioral conversation with a short case or a market sizing question. Treat it as a first recruiting cycle, because it is one.
- If your school has no consulting or finance club with a real application process, project based experience carries the same weight: student consulting groups, investment funds, case competitions, and research roles.
- Confirm every date and step on the club's own page or with its officers. This dossier adds school specific facts only when an official source supports them.
