Turn around time from McKinsey 2nd Round Interviews

Hi all..thanks in advance for your comments. I just finished with my 2nd round interviews with McKinsey as an APD candidate (PhD,MBA doing postdoc at Harvard Medical). My interview was on Tuesday and we were told we would hear back within 2 weeks (seems like a long time). I have heard that people usually hear back faster than that and was curious 1) what your thoughts are about this timeline and 2) if anyone has hear back yet?

As a follow-up...just read on a blog that some people have heard back with positive responses...doesn't bode well for the rest of us, unfortunately!

 

Not sure about the timeline for APD recruiting, but for BA's, turnaround time is extremely fast. Everyone I know from my school who got offers heard either the same day or the next day. People who were rejected heard within a few days. APD recruiting is probably a bit slower, though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially if they said it would take a few weeks.
