Applied late June - haven't heard back :(
Hopefully you’ll get an interview this week
Has anyone gotten a rejection?
Have you gotten a rejection email yet???
Did you do any networking before submitting your app?
I tried to network but no one responded to me lol. I saw last year's thread, and it seems like school name is important
Got it. Same I reached out to a few but no responses either
…
is the ft associate position rolling? are the interviews given out in batches?
From the prev year's thread, yes and yes
thanks, gl on the interview
Which office?
I applied for an office with less people, but I don’t think it mattered because both my interviewers asked for my office preference and they were in different offices
Update: Got final round. 3 cases 30 mins each
Congrats, how was the first round? Assuming behavioral and a case?
First round was 2 case interviews but the first 5-10 mins was introductions + 1 behavioral each
Congrats! How complex was the case math?
The most complex case math was multiplication of large numbers, but I don’t think I’m the best person to gauge case math cuz I’m very comfortable with it
Congrats man! I had my interview last Monday and thought I did well but for some reason they haven't reached back out yet...i think it might be over lol
Congrats! Just wondering how long it took them to get back to you after the first round.
They took ~4 days to tell me I got a second round
How long did it take to hear back after the first round?
They call you Friday
Has anyone else heard anything that applied to main offices?
Anyone hear anything for O&P FT?
Does LEK have US consulting internships? If so, when do they open and close, did they already close applications?
They only have internships for schools they deem as “target schools”. If your friend goes to one of them you can ask them to slide you the application link
I go to an Ivy. So I would need to find someone who works at LEK to get the app link, is that correct?
Interviewed r1 last week, heard back for r2 2 days later. Finished r2 Wednesday, haven’t heard back anything. Messed up one of the cases, not super confident I’ll get an offer.
have u heard back yet w final decision
Not yet, I’ll update whenever it comes through.
secured r3 earlier today fyi. i was able to expedite the process
how did u expedite the process
told them about my competing offer
is this for ft or the internship?
When would the second batch of interviews be?
I just got an email for r1 today. They are happening next week.
Which office?
this is for ft right not the internship?
I just now got an email about my R1 interviews. They are happening next week for me. I applied in mid-July
which office
i believe i ranked chicago but they ask you for your office preferences again when you get an interview
Anyone know anything about the o&p practice? Applied back in june and heard back about a r1 today, assuming this means rejection from general application
Anyone know if it's still open?
Anyone heard back from final rounds last week? What is typical turnaround for offer no offer?
i read that the vast majority of offers are same day or next day. wondering the same though—had my final recently and still waiting
Dang, I interviewed R2 this week. Guessing it will be a while to hear back. They might have one wave of interviews yet since the app closed August 16?
heard back recently! turnaround was 2 days
.
Has anyone heard back from final rounds the week of Aug 26?
How long did it take to hear back from final?

Yes, got final round coming up this week. Heard on Friday. I hope you hear back soon and given it’s Labor Day not sure you’d hear today
Update? Have you heard back yet? I had it this week but haven’t heard a peep 😢
How long after your interview? Friday week of interview or week after?
Had final round on Tuesday Sep 3. Anyone hear back from this week?
Got an offer. They typically let you know on the Friday of the week you interview
Did you interview this week or a previous week? And do they reject people same day?
Did you tell you the week of your final round or the Friday the week after? I had final round last week and still no update.
Has anyone who interviewed this week heard their result yet?
