Based on previous WSO threads, there isn't specific information about the exact timeline for hearing back from McKinsey regarding the Sophomore Summer Business Analyst (SSBA) program. However, there are some insights related to similar programs and timelines:

  • McKinsey July 7th Summer BA Application Deadline: A thread mentions that applicants are starting to prepare for the Imbellus PSG, which is a critical step in the process. This suggests that the timeline for hearing back might be closely tied to the completion of this assessment.

  • General Recruiting Insights: Another thread indicates that McKinsey prefers candidates to complete their sophomore internships before applying for junior internships, which might imply a structured timeline for feedback and next steps.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it might be helpful to keep an eye on relevant WSO threads or directly contact McKinsey's recruitment team.

attended a mck event recently and they said everyone gets solve. they also said that their apps are not rolling and that they get reviewed after the deadline but idk if i trust that. is there any benefit to applying early? I would have a few consulting-related experiences that I can add to my resume if i apply in 2 months instead of rn
