Chance me: consulting, making it to 2nd round?

I just had a 1st round at McKinsey. Assuming:

1) I did alright on the PST 2) Crushed the first fit/case interview (guy said he'd trust me enough to put me in front of a client, thought I was good, methodical, etc.) 3) Sorta bombed the second fit/case (I misheard a thing or two, didn't present as confidently my fit part, was choppier with the case, didn't get a good framework out because I thought he was rushing me for an immediate response, etc.), what are my odds?

I applied for more obscure offices like Silicon Valley, Seattle, etc. instead of the typical NYC, S.F. if that helps.

Chance I can make it to the second round, or am I screwed?

You won't make it and you did not make it.

No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well.
