2023 ADC/APD Summer Programs/Full-Time Applications Thread
Noticed that we don't have a similar thread like previous years for ADC/APD application this year so figured I'd set up one so that so people could ask questions or share updates as they prepare for recruiting season.
Below are relevant firms and ongoing programs.
Summer Programs:
- McKinsey Insight
- Bridge to BCG
- Bain ADvantage
- Connect to Clearview
- Link to LEK
- EMBARK with EY-P
Other firms of interest include:
- Health Advances
- IQVIA
- Putnam
- Clarion
- CRA
Feel free to add in additional firms that are recruiting for PhD but not on this list.
Here’s my application record so far:
Agree! Official rejections would help the stress 😅
Good luck to all here!! I went through the interview process last year and got through my anxiety on WSO. Happy to answer questions on prep.
Don't be discouraged if you don't get into the programs. They say that they invite competitive candidates for interviews regardless and they mean that, at least MBBs. Bain recruits their ADCs primarily through their summer program but have also heard of them interviewing ADvantage rejects in their FT cycle. All three firms try to use their programs more to convince people who wouldn't apply to do so, rather than finding the most competitive candidates.
