Bump
FT R1 interview invites this Friday ?
Likely I think… similar 2 week post app due date. I’d target tomorrow or Friday
When do you think the actual interviews will be? I know last year they weren't until after people's internships ended around August 8th.
There a few internships that finish about the 15th but in any case my best guess is R1 w/c 4 Aug
Anyone heard anything ?
Negative. Hawking my inboxes.
No
Monday ?
If invites come out this week, does that mean interview will be week of August 4th?
There is a possibility they could be later this week , I have seen one comment on Reddit re one FT interview offer from a West Coast office with a date of 31 July. BCG and Bain seem to recruit centrally in USA whereas I believe MCK recruit on a decentralised basis with each office determining their staffing needs and arranging interviews. As far as I can see no one else has received any FT interview offers but I suspect they are imminent. Bain FT R1 are out , BCG will be start Aug with interviews 6&7 Aug. Makes sense for all three to have more or less aligned processes
I have seen comments re 2 interview offers for Atlanta office but that’s it so far …..
heard people got NY just now
Hearing the same
Are we anticipating waves or is that it?
got for boston but had ny as first choice, ny may be cooked
I fear that is it
Anyone hear Texas?
Anyone here get Seattle or heard of someone getting it?

Is it released by school or location?
Heard back Chicago office, good luck all.
Heard from Minneapolis?
Anyone hear from Philly?
Anyone heard from SF?
got my interview for bay area. it says "the Bay Area (San Francisco and Silicon Valley) offices" in the message, does that mean I could be placed in silicon valley?
Nothing yet, completed solve the day after the deadline. Cooked?
NJ Round 1s this week

Nope
How long to hear back after R1? Is it call or email
Got call evening of
