Applied 6/21 but never got Imbellus (took it less than a year ago for internship apps though)

 

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

 

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.

 

Has anyone heard back from McK Philly or DC office?

Edit: According to a reddit post, McK Philly has sent out interview request.

 

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

 

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

 

Too late for Mckinsey, but you can still submit for Bain and BCG. It can’t hurt to apply imo

 

Just heard back from my McK recruiter, some people will receive their candidacy status from Late July to Mid August.

 
Funniest

This is great for denying my inevitable rejection, thank you!

 

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.

 

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

 

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?

 

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

 

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?

 

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.
