A Bit tooo Informal
I got an email back from my Chicago based interviewer. He said,"at the end it came down to that you are a bit too informal/casual, and the competitive was high."
I admit that I was a bit informal with him, but with the rest I was not. Even though, it was extremely hard to be when the interviewer is asking me unrelated questions like: what does my dad do? or, where am I originally from? or which high school I went to! Seriously ... how am I supposed to be formal when they are asking me such questions. Oh well, their loss.

Thinking about it now, I am a little at fault. I have read about Booz Allen being very formal, and yet, I didn't show my super duper formal face. URGH

The feedback is still coming in from the Chicago interviewers. I just had a quick phone call with the Chicago based interviewer, and he said that he felt "bad" that I was not chosen. He said that the others said that "My look/presence does not give the maturity a client wants to see."

Right. A formal position like that would've killed you. You'd have had to start your very own BoozOnion to even survive a no-nonsense environment like that!
In a few years, when they beg you to come back, make sure more informality is one of the conditions you ask for... ;)
