Can you apply to BOTH McK Insights AND their consulting positions?

Hi,

I have gotten mixed and unclear answers from people at McK about this. I am wondering if you could apply to both their Insights program and as a regular consultant (I'd be applying as an APD candidate). I have read and heard that you can only apply to one position a year. However, I have also heard that applying to and being rejected from an Insights program would not disqualify you from applying as a regular candidate.

I am just wondering if anyone on here has any experience or thoughts about this.

Thanks
