Before reaching out to partners, have you tried networking with alumni - and get a referral? (As you come from a target school and people are actually incentivised to refer) Also, do you know why you got rejected? I strongly recommend you to try networking and/or improving these points first rather than directly applying through online portals (especially for BCG, as they have 2 years waiting period if your application is rejected).

Goodluck!

 

McK probably not going to happen given earlier 2 rejections. Recruiting is global so you're in the overall system, not in an office system. Don't really understand why you're so keen on McK alone, seems pretty strange and irrational. Go ahead and apply to Bain an BCG. It's all the same. And no, they won't reject you because you're foreign, so don't worry about that.

 

Agreed. I never interviewed with McK though. Actually what's keeping my hopes up with McK is that during the second rejection, the email said they really liked my resume but had to reluctantly reject because there was no suitable vacancy. But I totally agree with you.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's simply a well-written generic/standard rejection text.

I've received a very similar one from one of the MBB and was led to think that it's written for me. Truth is there are many who receive the same.
