McK - Digital Assessment
Hi guys! Sorry for the off-topic and looking for some tips, as I found no useful information so far. I applied to McKinsey for an internship, passed the CV screening and very sadly for me failed the Imbellus Digital Assessment (feeling a bit dumb about this). Is there anyone who re-applied and...
Have a final interview with MBB. Have a question.
Hi all. I have a final interview (lateral hire, but from ER) with an MBB firm (Asian office). Last interview of the final round (will have had 4 interviews total). At this point, am I practically a shoo in unless I mess up a lot, or is this interview still make or break? Regardless, I'd still be...

Will my History degree stop me joining an MBB?
I will be studying either History or a History and Politics degree at a top UK university (Either Oxford, Durham, St.Andrews - and Exeter which is a top uni for History).

Should I try getting a referral from a Partner or an Associate?
I have several alumni at Partner level (obviously much older than me) with whom I can get in touch. But should I really focus on impressing the Partners, or the Associates? School of thought 1: Associates have more incentive in referring (as they care about money), as partners don't really care much...
Can you get an interview at MBB with a referral but LOW GPA?
I am thinking of a situation where someone with a low GPA gets to the interview stage because of a referral. Is that a possibility? And assuming you do get an interview, would GPA still be relevant? Thanks
Do background check companies PULL your education history, or ask YOU to provide it?
All questions for US/Canadian offices only. When they ask you to SIGN offer letter which is contingent upon a background check, is that enough authorisation from us for them to easily PULL our records out of universities? If you come through a referral, do they still perform an intrusive background...
