Connect to Clearview, Path to Putnam and Clarion PROPEL 2019 for APD

I wanted to create a forum specifically for those applying to C2C, Path to Putnam and PROPEL separate from Bridge to BCG, Insight or ADvantage/AIC. Feel free to post below if you have gotten any response (positive or negative), interview invites, or are looking for case partners. I personally am interviewing for C2C next week. Good luck!

Hi AD1121, no, I never sleep and so I can respond to any lonely threads (like this one) at all hours of the night. Impressive, I know ;-)

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

Seems like all the discussions are still in the other thread...... I applied CRA and Putnam summer event even though I am not a bio/medical major.

Hi all,

I've used WSO 2-3 years back when i was transitioning from PhD to Consulting, and I'm cautiously proud to say/think that I started the tradition of annual compilation of PhD recruiting posts :) - could be wrong but this is my understanding.

I'm now at Trinity Partners which specializes in life sciences consulting, and it's been a great experience thus far. We're offering a 3-day summer program for PhDs and thought you guys might be interested: http://jobs.jobvite.com/trinitypartners/job/oEpJ9fwF Best of luck to you all, Sue

 

Offered a second round interview for C2C. Let me know if anyone else did as well and is interested in getting a practice or two in before their interview.

 

Hi everyone, Did anyone hear back from Clarion? I was just invited for a final interview for C2C but no news from Clarion ...

Thanks

 

some people I know already interviewed with Clarion last week (Thursday and Friday). Don't know why they haven't sent out any rejection emails yet...

 

Had second rounder for C2C Thursday last week. Based on their turnaround after first rounders, I would anticipate hearing back around Monday 5/6.

 

Mine is scheduled on Tuesday. Does the phone interview format was the same than on the first phone interview (15min talk +30 min case)? Thank you

 

I had more fit this time around than last time, since in the first rounder I only had one "fit" question since my interviewer was late. It was about 10 minutes fit, 30 minutes case, 5 minutes for Q+A. The case was similar to first round, just a bit longer (I was cut off in my first round because of time). I didn't do too much additional prep and I felt fine. Made some math mistakes but they gave me the chance to correct them.

 

same, even though some people already heard back. I wonder if they will keep emailing tomorrow? I just want an answer - either an acceptance or a rejection hahaha don't want to wonder

 

For those who applied to the CRA PhD Symposium, they began to send out rejections to the no interview candidates this morning
