MBB Yet-to-hear-back 1R interview

I sense that there are still a few of us waiting on certain invites (or rejects), so I thought I'd create a dedicated thread here if you'd like to look for people likely in the same boat and share info should you have any. 

I'm waiting for McK - (Bay Area, SoCal, Miami)

One of my close friends attends UC Berkeley, and she applied for McK Bay Area offices. She applied on the 5th of July and got her game assessment invitation on the 9th. She heard back for a first-round interview on the 20th (this Tuesday) and her first-round interview is now scheduled for early September.

Yup sounds like most of the people are in this camp - I’m thinking the SF offices are done sending out invites. The reason it’s being held up is that one of the other choices have not finalized. For me, my bet is that Miami hasn’t finalized. I’m trying to see if we can see a pattern of hold ups.

 

I know Bain DC seems to be rolling out rejections and completed invites; i think Bain Boston completed invites too. McK DC sent out invites this week but haven’t heard about rejections

 

If I haven't received a email from Mck or Bain now is it safe to assume I am rejected? Is there a potential they still send an invite after the next deadline when they are only evaluating summer internships and not full time as well

 

McK- Philly, NY, DC (Imbellus July 8th)

Bain- NY, DC, Toronto
BCG- Philly, NY, DC (Pymetrics July 7th)

Have not heard back from them at all.

 

Is it just me or your rejection says "your profile doesn't meet our current needs" as well? Last year it was different 

 

Doubt it, most people at my school (target) have already been reached out to. Possible that McK is still rolling out invites, but highly unlikely.
