Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that some applicants have received updates while others are still waiting. For BCG, one user mentioned receiving an email stating that their application is complete and they will be informed about the status by early May. They were unsure if this meant that decisions hadn't been made yet or if they should assume rejection. For McKinsey, the same user hadn't heard back after the Imbellus test and was expecting to hear back by the end of the week.

In another thread, a user was wondering if anyone had received invitations to complete the Imbellus PSG for McKinsey after the July 7th deadline.

So, it seems like the response times can vary and it might be a bit of a waiting game. Keep an eye on your email and good luck!
