McKinsey Solve Scoring
Anyone know what the cutoff is for this? I screwed up on mine (applying for intern) and am really worried now, as it'll also carry over to if/when I apply for FT next year.

Top decile usually. Can be a lower if you’re an athlete or have other hooks (partner referral)

Ugh. I assume I can't retake before my FT apps (since they'll be less than 12 months from now)?
Everyone get the email to confirm location preferences after completing solve?
Don't you do that on your app?
I got a separate email to re-confirm my preferences
Guys the game does not matter.
Um how do yk
I’ve heard rumours that the game isn’t actually scored, which would make sense since I’ve literally solved it (it can be done fairly easily with an excel sheet) and still didn’t get to interview. I think they just decide based off the rest of your application and are looking to see if game scores have any predictive power.
My recruiter directly told me they don’t use the score at all.
Nvm I got tenth decile. Looks like you don't need perfect performance to do well
How do you see your score?
