BCG vs Monitor/LEK/Parthenon for PE

I understand McK or Bain is the place to be for PE
and that even at these places, PE is hard to get.
Given that, HOW hard to get PE out of BCG?
And would one be better off going to a place like Monitor/LEK/Parthenon if they want to maximize probability of landing PE afterwards? (also, any other boutique shops that are well known for PE practice/placement?)

people get into PE from BCG (BX, Carlyle) am sure you will find somebody at other megafunds as well. you cant really quantify how hard it is going to be but i think BCG will beat the rest of the firms in your list

"too good to be true" See my WSO Blog
 

let me reframe your question:

I think I might want to work in engineering, but i'm not totally sure because I don't really know everything about it. I have offers from Yale and Georgia Tech - which should I take?

My answer is take Yale (or BCG) - because even though Georgia Tech does really damn well for what you think you might want to do, you don't know you'll definitely want to do it; and therefore you'd rather have a multipurpose degree behind you than a more limiting one.

And because a little proactiveness at BCG --> placement just as easily as at McK or Bain.

just an example - I am bashing neither the schools nor the firms mentioned.
