From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
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!

BCG already doing first round interviews for Canada this week. Don't know for U.S.
Just heard back from BCG. Didn't make R1 even with referral from PL.
I also had a referral, yet I didn't get an interview. I'm not sure what went wrong with my application.
Also got rejected BCG but no referral. From what I heard McKinsey will be coming out very late
How late? Next week, mid-Oct?
Also got rejected from BCG (despite BB IB return offer) even though Bain gave R1. McK said nothing so far.
Buddy got an interview at mck chicago
