Early last wk I was in touch w/ a recruiter and was told 3-4wks so either next wk or the wk after
I heard could be as soon as EOW
Where did u hear this? Hoping you’re correct
Heard it from a recruiter but still feels too good to be true! Fingers crossed
Bump
asked campus recruiter - "notified by the week of the 24th". so does that mean EOW?
Has anyone done the problem solving game yet
Yes, I have. It was really similar to last year’s game.
Mine was also almost identical to last years
If we didn't get an invite to the Imbellus game by now, should we assume that we were rejected or does the invite come out on a rolling basis? For context, I did the game last year when I applied to the internship if that matters. I applied to the NY office
Depends when u did it last year. I think if u have done it in the past 365 days u don’t get another invite. Lmk if this helps
So if you didn't get past the game last year, are you just going to get rejected again?
also haven't gotten a game invite yet, not sure what to make of that as I thought everyone did it no matter what. applied very close to deadline though, and know others in same situation
delete
I had a coffee chat last week and was told that the game is not auto-invitation for all. You get an invite or get cut after the initial resume screen. I also applied the day it was due and got an invite but I'm not sure how their overall timeline works.
I did the game for Sophomore SBA and they didn’t make me do it again for Junior SBA before first round
there are exceptions to this rule: if you signed up to Connect with Mckinsey in the spring, you got the game regardless of resume
Creating a sub thread for Mck Philadelphia. Anyone heard anything yet? I heard they are turning fast this year for FT BA.
Wdym by turning fast?
Shorter time review. As in shorter time between ddl and interview invitation m
Philly office here!
Do you mean you apply to Phili too?
Or do you mean you got invited to 1R?
Anyone heard anything about Atlanta?
2 people said they got FT interviews in another post, has anyone got FT interviews?
bump
bump
anyone heard anything about chicago FT?
Let’s see if I go 0/3
Boston FT anyone?
anyone heard back from LA office FT?
Nope
last week they havent reviewed since they were waiting for people to play the game (for those that havent played it yet).
this week they are reviewing and decisions will most likely be out either this or next week
FT south offices not released yet
hoping McKinsey isnt as bad as BCG this year in terms of hiring
I aspire to have your optimism. I can count on one hand how many R1s people from my T20 have to Bain, BCG, and Oliver Wyman combined. I also focused all my networking energy into BB and not M, so I've already chalked it up to a loss.
Godspeed to all of us who are gonna start duking it out in the T2s. May the odds ever be in your favor, because it's the fucking Hunger Games out there.
yeah it really sucks that our application cycle happens to coincide in an economic downturn. they are turning down applicants who are otherwise qualified had this been another cycle
Anyone heard from Dallas or Austin yet?
Anyone have info on when invites r supposed to get released now?
Lets hope MCK is in the mood to hire BA's, BCG seemed to have rejected almost everyone I know haha
Anyone heard from McKinsey Minneapolis yet?
Will invites be released by EOW? Anyone had contact with the recruiters?
Heard today or tomorrow
Do you know what office/region?

**invitations to interview to be sent in early to mid-August**
(this was in an email sent to us yesterday)
Bruh lol where’d that email come from?
Our school recruiter sent it out yesterday bc they were sending bumps about aug 30th + sept 29 deadlines for SBA + SSBA and that just happened to be wrapped in there, they're based in a large NE office
You know if this applies to all the offices? Which office did this come from (in terms of region)?
Came from a NE office, so I’m assuming all will follow suit
So we can assume that there won't be exceptions to this rule? Only asking because somebody told me their recruiter told them it should be by the end of this week
For FT, hHeard 1-2 weeks from the beginning of this week (putting us at first or second week of Aug). Source: recruiting BA lead, Southeast office
Has anyone heard anything for full time? Is it today or should we just expect it in 1-2 weeks?!
It seems like the consensus is early to mid august but yeah would love to know if anybody has heard anything today
according to fishbowl, we ideally hear back by the end of this week with the earliest first rounds beginning on august 7th.
Thanks for the info!! which bowl is it? McKinsey?
Yeah which bowl is it in all seriousness? Could you drop the link?
All things MBB! WSO won't let me drop the link to the post for some reason.
Anyone have updates on SF office interview dates?
Ayt where dis jawn at doe
Waiting for application responses has me checking my email like 20x a day…
has anyone heard yet?
Does anyone know if summer business analyst application is rolling or will it start after august 30 (SBA deadline)?
Our school recruiter has explicitly made it clear that applications are not reviewed on a rolling basis. AFAIK, this is because they would rather that students wrap up their current internships.
this FT application suspense is killing me- the routine is literally check my outlook email first, then check this thread- someone end this loop!
I feel u, but u just gotta chill man lol. I get it's annoying and super stressful, but u gotta learn how to live ur life and not let this consume u. Wishing u all the best
looks like it’s another week’s wait..
yeah its prob gonna be in mid August. Im glad though- im still in my internship so i wouldnt have had the energy nor time to focus on mck interviews had they sent them out earlier
just hoping that my psg score and resume was good enough to move on to R1...
Yeah but I think my thing is they could’ve just send out rejections if those were really off the bar - no need to keep us all waiting
I think it’s tomorrow for some offices unless they delay again
Heard back for SF office. First round Aug 11th final round Aug 18th.
did you just hear back?
yeah about an hour ago
How do you know both the first and final rounds?
This guy isn't telling the truth...You don't hear when final rounds before first rounds, ignore him
they're just saying save the date
Did anybody for the NYC office hear back yet?
Anyone heard from Atlanta?
still waiting on atlanta
anyone hear from dallas?
haven't heard anything either
anyone else heard back from sf?
I applied to SF - haven't heard back yet. How's it with you?
Pretty sure its just West Coast ATM, looks like NE etc. still delayed
Any ideas has interviews of Seattle ofs been sent out yet?
have not hear back from seattle
Seems like west coast mbb are all having better business than other regions based off of the number of candidates they send out interviews to lol
I thought the same thing - really wish I applied West Coast. Sucks because on top of the bad luck this season think I applied to the wrong offices on 2/3 of the MBBs
Anyone heard back from LA office? Or is it only the Bay Area & SF who already got the interview email?
Chicago?
Damn I really went 0/3, not a single first round. Upsetting because I got all three invites last year and prepped so hard this summer. Fuck. High GPA at a target. Looks like I won’t be doing consulting
Why are u saying this? I believe McK’s decisions haven’t come out yet except for Bay area
I was Bay Area
It's all good man! At the end of the day there are other opportunities and other pathways. May I ask what office you applied to?
same here. Thank god I stopped prepping 2 weeks ago. Way too many sunk costs on this shit
maybe you will get invite from your 2nd or 3rd office choice - it's not uncommon to get it from 2nd office choice
You know there are more than 3 firms right?
Not when you go to a target
may have been nothing wrong with your application- just a shitty economy so mbb recruiting less
This. I can't tell you how many insanely smart/qualified individuals that I know who have been rejected at every step of the process. Not just personal bias, these kids legit are some 4.0 hard science studs w/ business experience and some wildly impressive and unique experiences under the names. Most of them? Not even an R1--shit's tough this year across the board but especially for consulting.
Has NYC come out yet?
No idea, I’ll keep everyone updated if I hear something from NYC!
Is this only a few of us? I haven't heard back from SF yet. Is anyone also in the same boat?
Also haven't heard back from SF yet
what a relief. Felt like rejection was on its way.
monkey1291Is this only a few of us? I haven't heard back from SF yet. Is anyone also in the same boat? I heard back from Bay/SF Office and I have the R1 interview scheduled for this Friday
i haven’t heard from dallas rip
I don’t think anyone has
I haven't either don't worry
anyone else heard back from SF office FT?
Someone above got the invite a couple days ago I’m pretty sure
I have heard some McKinsey offices only do one round of interviews, like a superday. Is that true?
Depends on office. Either 2 rounds with 5 interviews in total or 1 super day with 4 back
To backs
NYC appears to be out. One of my friends just got an interview
ft?
yes
d
Does anyone know how office rankings work? Like do you have a higher chance of getting into some offices than others?
Apply to offices that are near your college, near your high school or a location that fits that practice you’re interested in.
anyone heard from the miami office yet??
Anyone heard from DC or Charlotte office?
bump
LA?
Anyone heard from Dallas office?
sadly not yet
Has anyone heard from Miami?
bump
not yet
Anyone heard from Atlanta?
anyone heard from Houston?
nope :/ have houston for first choice
Likewise! update if you hear from them!
Boston FT anyone?
Chicago FT anyone?
Nope
Did anyone hear from Ohio?
Is there any point in holding hopes of receiving an interview at this point or better to just move on and focus on other companies (NE office)?
Probably good to keep recruiting at the same time. Still have not heard back from LA :(
TBH not to get your hopes up, but one person commenting that their friend got an interview for NY is a little sus to me. Haven't seen anyone else say that they got either an interview or a rejection; not on here or Reddit.
I would just wait and see but I don't think anything has happened yet
That was me. Also agree that it’s very odd that I haven’t heard of any other NYC interviews but my friend showed me the email himself. Feel free to check my history but I have no incentive for lying. Still waiting on Dallas (hopefully) for an interview.
i know someone who got an invite on monday
is we have a first round interview, what might be the chance of getting an offer?
Passing the interviews
office dependent but I would imagine very little in general
This is misinformed. McKinsey has enough spots for offers to everyone who receives an interview, however meeting the bar is the actual concern.
Typically at mbb, if 8 people get R1, 4 get R2, and 2 get offers
Where did you hear this?
Just passing along info, but I heard from multiple people decisions came out yesterday and interviews are week of August 26th.
Thanks!! Do you know which offices?
Jeez, I'd expect this place to be abuzz if decisions came out. Either it's a select handful or M is really hammering down on the headcount issue and taking like 2 people overall lmao
Thank you sm! Do yk which offices that was for?
Now what, another week??!
Anybody heard from Philadelphia?
A M consultant told me that only people with referrals from MDs are getting interview invites
Not true, i got an interview no referral
office?
Also not true, I got an interview with no referral and I’m not at a target school. Office is Bay Area
whats M and MD
N=4 - I’ve had people reach out to me lending them a hand with casing for McKinsey full time interviews (NE and southern offices) for interviews slated to be ran this coming week. First rounds the 14th-15th with final rounds the 16th - 18th.
Which southern offices have released interviews?
These are all from people who went to the same school that I went to in the year under me - one of them has an interview for Atlanta
Has anyone heard from Atlanta?
Anyone hear updates about Chicago?
Is Dallas office one interview day or two rounds?
I think they used to be two rounds? Not sure if that's changed. Did you get an interview for the Dallas office?
i’m still waiting on dallas rip
