2022 ADC/APD Summer Programs/Full-Time Applications Thread
Applications are ongoing so figured I'd set up a thread similar to last year so people could ask questions or share updates as they prepare for recruiting season.
Below are relevant firms.
Summer Programs:
- McKinsey Insight
- Bridge to BCG
- Bain ADvantage
- Connect to Clearview
- Link to LEK
- Path to Putnam
- Clarion PROPEL
- Transition to Trinity
- Charles River Associates PhD Symposium
Other firms that hire PhDs include:
- EY-Parthenon
- Health Advances
- Navigant
- ZS
- IQVIA
- CBPartners
- Cello Health Bioconsulting
- Comment if I'm missing some
EY-P has 2 day "Embark with EYP" for ADCs interested in LS consulting (similar to the summer programs from other firms). Link is here:

Additionally, Simon Kucher has their own 2 day event called "Soar with Simon-Kucher".
Good luck to everyone applying this year!
I know that Bain Advantage has sent out workshop invitation to applicants of DC, Boston, Chicago, NYC offices 2 days ago
Bain ADvantage is definitely >>50% unless you really mess up during the week of your internship (and it is paid). The interview process involves 2 case interviews and airport test which is highly similar to FT application. Also, you don't need an extra round of interview to get a return offer. BCG/McKinsey's programs are very different - they are just there to gauge interest/allow advanced degree candidates to explore consulting. After the program, you still need to do the interviews except you can do them earlier. So if you get an offer from Bain ADvantage, then congrats - coz highly likely you will land a FT offer. But for the other 2, it is amazing that you get the offer but there are quite some work to do before you securing the position.
I saw a comment a while ago about McKinsey potentially interviewing for Insight. Wasn't sure if that was actually a thing, did anyone get any communication from McKinsey about the Insight program? I know Bain sent out invites to some workshops etc. for potentials and BCG decisions but it seems like nothing from McK except the Solve test invite right?
Also wondering if anyone heard back from Bain besides the workshop
I spoke with one of the consultants in the office I had the workshop for and they said that based on conversations with HR we should hear back in the first half of April, most likely towards the start of the month. Obviously might be different for other offices but hopefully this helps.
