McKinsey PST for ADC?
Is the McKinsey PST part of the application process for Advanced degree candidates applying in the US? I'm a PhD candidate from a non-target school. Any info is appreciated!

McKinsey switched to the Imbellus digital assessment, which is a series of gamified tasks in natural environments for ADC and other positions in the US. They don't do the PST anymore as far as I know. The Imbellus test may be its own screening step in the US, but in some other countries it's concurrent with the first round of interviews.
