Just received McKinsey invitation to Imbellus?

Hey,

I applied for McKinsey's Business Analyst Intern position in Dubai without thinking I will get a response. I have just received an invitation to do the Imbellus game.

I am confused because based on this forum, applications for 2022 interns should not even be open now. Is this some sort of early application process before the next one opens, or is this the only one? 

I want to be ready for interviews, and don't want to get the 1-year ban from applying in the case that this is an 'early' application.

Hey shiram, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
