KdotFlow, way too quiet in here. What about these resources:
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
Hi ADCs! I was in your spot last year and now I'm starting at an MBB firm. Happy answer questions here and/or to share resources and example application docs via DM. Coaching interviewees as an assigned buddy for my firm has shown me how valuable it can be to give back. Welcome and good luck!
That's awesome! Did you get into one of the summer programs before the FT position? If so, did it help your application?
Great question! I applied for all three summer programs by MBBs, but I did not get into Bain's or BCG's. For both, I was put on a "stay in touch" type of list. In my region, McKinsey had a one-day info session and I did get into that.
As for whether it helped my application, it could help you get on folks' radars. But those summer programs are very limited, so it's okay if you aren't one of the handful of people who actually gets into Bridge to BCG or the others. Many more people I know were invited to the full-time interview than to the summer program.
Keep in mind this was all during Covid, and the firms changed a lot of their recruitment that year. Who knows what will happen this time!
