From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
applied 6/25, got invite 7/1
Applied 6/21 but never got Imbellus (took it less than a year ago for internship apps though)
Same here
.
When do they start interviewing, generally? Will everything be wrapped up before August?
All I know is Bain's deadlines, see below
Bain (1st application deadlines):
- AD Candidates: 12 June 2022
- AC: 11 July 2022
- ACI: 11 July 2022«
EDIT: these seem to be the first ones, but there should be more later (thanks to the user below for the heads up)
These deadlines are only for one round of interviews, there are more later in the summer/fall
Will there be more opportunities for AD candidates to apply to Bain then? (If I haven't applied by June 12th)
Any updates from anyone?
Have not heard anything back yet from any firm
^ The recruiters all stressed it would be quick turnarounds, so I thought rejections/invites would have come by now
Also surprised that nothing has come out. Bain and BCG were due recently though, so perhaps that is why.
Stuck in a schrodingers application with BCG. Application submitted successfully (according to the confirmation email), but when viewed on their application website, it states that it is incomplete. I also completed their pymetrics test. o_O
Where does it say incomplete?
Hello, it says it under the pending application section.
If you received the test I assume your application went through, you could also try reaching out to application/IT support to confirm if they received it
For those who have successfully submitted their BCG app, is it showing up under pending applications? I have nothing under there so I’m assuming I was already rejected.
Got an interview for M
Which office?
Also got interview for M
Did you have to take the PSG test?
EDIT: If you did, what was the turn around time from Imbellus?
Took imblles 7/1, got interview today
Congratulations. Were you notified via email or phone?
Congratulations! and second on the office question
NYC
Has anyone heard anything from Boston atlanta or dc?
I’m also waiting for Atlanta. Haven’t heard anything yet.
Got interview from DC midday today. Heard that info is given out through out this whole week though, so I wouldn’t stress too much :)
Yeah, DC was choice number 3, so that’s not the big stress one. If ATL starts coming in then I’d get concerned
Has anyone heard back from McK Philly or DC office?
Edit: According to a reddit post, McK Philly has sent out interview request.
Applied for Bain SF, still haven't heard anything back yet. A friend of mine got a FT Interview Invite for M NYC, so I think those are probably on their way out. Hoping Bain notifies soon...
since M deadline was 4 days before Bain, I'm thinking maybe Bain would come out by the end of the week? also waiting for Bain SF
Gotcha, makes sense. Just feeling a bit anxious with M invites starting to come out. Here's hoping we both get invites! Will update the thread if I hear back.
Anyone else M Bay Area office not heard back yet?
It sounds like SF along with Seattle, NYC, Dallas, and Denver are out.
McK Philly is out according to a Redditor.
Can anyone confirm that it’s office by office? Feel like it may all be done at once and just no one’s posted from some of the smaller offices
Has anyone heard back from McK Charlotte office?
also wondering about this^
curious about this too
Heard FT is out, not sure about SBA
McKinsey Dallas anyone?
Anyone know if all interview invitations for a particular office are sent out simultaneously?
Also wondering about this
Don’t think so based off of what my recruiter told me. Not 100% sure tho- might b some variability across offices
Has anyone heard from Mckinsey Boston?
I have not
I received a 1R invite to Boston office yesterday. Unsure if it was school specific.
Was this for FT or SA?
Target school (HYPW)?
Heard one of my friends got a first round from them
Has anyone received a McK rejection?
No, but my school’s recruiter said interview decisions would be out 2-4 weeks after submission deadline so I presume we’ll know in 2 weeks
deleted
was this for FT or SA
deleted
Has anyone heard back from Mck ATL?
Got FT interview invite on Sunday for McK ATL. Applied just before the deadline (maybe two days before?).
Has anyone heard back from Mck NJ?
Has anyone heard back from Mck's Chicago office? I know some of my friends have but I am not sure if interview notifications are sent out on a rolling basis
Anyone heard back for LA full time?
Got an invite from LA on Monday
Anyone hear from Bain or BCG any office?
following for BCG^
Friend who works at Bain DC says Bain DC invites will go out by the end of the week. In another thread someone says Chicago not until next week. I don't think anyone has heard from any BB yet.
That's cap. My friend got the interview for the Bain Chicago office today for the ACI role.
M interview invite for SA in NYC just arrived for me
When did you take the Imbellus?
just over week ago
Bain round 1 invite just came through
Which office?
ATL
Which office did you apply?
Curious to know what Bain R1 structure is like, any changes like McK?
Seems to be standard 2 rounds 2 cases each from the email
is it worth to apply now or am I too late? for FT 2023 not SA
Too late for Mckinsey, but you can still submit for Bain and BCG. It can’t hurt to apply imo
thanks! i submitted my BCG app about a week ago, I figured it was too late for McKinsey given that I never even got the games
Just heard back from my McK recruiter, some people will receive their candidacy status from Late July to Mid August.
Do you mean some people could receive interviews that late? Or do you mean that’s when rejections will be sent?
He implied that it was on a rolling basis.
This is great for denying my inevitable rejection, thank you!
Does candidacy status refer to the initial interview or the final job offer?
Looks like Bain is out for Atlanta and Chicago -- any other ones?
Well this weekend is going to involve a lot of alcohol to medicate my anxiety.
me too, friend, me too...
That's my boy
Are people still hearing back from McK or is it time to accept that all the rest of us will receive a rejection in a week or so?
I just got off recruiting office hours and she said some offices might send out invites as late as next week. It does sound like all office invites are sent out at once, but not all offices have sent their invites yet.
Anyone heard from DC?
Anyone hear from Bain Denver?
.
Mck app still open is it too late to apply?
Is too late to apply bain bcg also?
McKinsey is closed but worth reaching out to your college recruiter if you have one. Bain and BCG still open, it’ll be reviewed under the 2nd deadline
Bain FT is still open? When is the 2nd deadline?
Anyone hear from Bain SF?
My question as well
^
Just got the invite for Bain SF
Me too...why do they send these things so late lol
Anyone heard from Bain NYC? FT
Yep, just now
Got Bain & McK SF.
Anyone get Bain Boston?
Haven’t heard.
I haven't heard either. Are you applying for FT or ACI? Also did anyone apply to McK Boston SA and get an interview yet?
Just got the FT interview invite for Bain Invite (5:30pm)
Just got Bain DC
law school it is!
My understanding is that Bain is school by school instead of office
Is BCG dead silent for everyone?
The deadlines were 7/7, 7/11, and 7/14, looks like Bain (7/11) is just coming out with invitations yesterday and today, so I'd assume BCG would be early next week?
BCG was 7/21
Dead silent after pymetrics
Does anyone know whether FT and SA interview invites go out at once?
Anyone get Bain LA yet?
I did yesterday
Any rough estimation on how many that get a first-round interview end up getting offers?
Has anyone heard from Bain NYC for FT?
Yep, got the interview just now.
Same here
Just got an interview invite from Bain SF for FT! Super stoked and hoping you all get your invite soon!
I emailed a Mckinsey recruiter and she told me "we hope to have them all out by end of week," so should be tomorrow latest
What office was your recruiter?
Anyone else feeling doomed
me
me
Anyone hear from Boston offices for any firm?
I haven't and am feeling very anxious.
.
Do we have any Emory fellas over here. Hoping the invitations are going out depending on schools 😭
^Same with Duke?
Anyone hear back from Chicago?
haven't heard back from any of MBB for Boston...feeling a little despondent haha
same
anyone hear back from dc offices for any firm?
McK earlier in the week
has anyone heard back from bcg or know when we will hear back?
I’m thinking it’ll be next week? Since the deadline was a few days after Bain
^^^ following
So far I've heard back from McKinsey SoCal and Bain LA
Anyone heard back from McKinsey Chicago?
Yes
Got the invite for Bain Northeast last night. They seem to be conducting NY and Boston together
Same - do you think it's worth clarifying with the recruiter which office will interview us (since I applied to both NY and Boston), or do we just go prepared to speak to either office?
If you fill out the form they ask you which office you want to interview at
Any word from BCG any office?
Anyone received the interview sign-up for McKinsey NJ? Got an interview notification but no sign-up yet
When did you complete the PSG??
Any word from McKinsey dc?
Heard they sent out interview invites for some earlier this week
heard earlier this week
Hi all — received Bain interview for DC on the 21st. Background: non-target, 3.6 gpa
3.6 gpa (not sure why my comment got cut off)
3.6 gpa
Is it safe to assume that if I haven’t got invites from Bain or McKinsey (NYC) already I’m probably done? My contacts at both firms said they’re still rolling them out but that seems to me like a political answer more than anything
Also curious about this! Did they mention how long the roll-out period is?
Bain sent rejections earlier today but have heard mixed things about McKinsey still rolling out. Doesn't look great though tbh
following - haven't heard from McKinsey sf yet - am I gone?
Honestly pretty sure McKinsey NYC is done just because they have already set up info sessions, case partners, and let people sign up for interview time slots.
They might wait until the interview registration deadline on 07/26 to re-evaluate applicants and maybe send out a second wave of interview invitations? Don’t know if they have historically done that in the past.
