I'm a U.S M.D that recently received a full-time offer from BCG through their Bridge to BCG program, also interviewing soon with McKinsey. For any physicians that joined MBB or MBBers that have worked with physicians on your team, do you feel that the M.D degree helps the person in any way...

Hi all, have a friend who just received an invite to a multi-day "training" event by an MBB after being rejected for a position there.

TL;DR Rejected from summers last year, managed to improve my CV dramatically but still rejections at the first stage. A Level grades are beyond below what the avg candidate has (BCC and major extenuating circumstances) - should I retake them as I feel as though it’s the main thing setting me back...

Had a call with someone at McKinsey. They told me to let them know after I've applied and they'll send a word in regarding my resume. Is this the same as a referral?

Just received invitation to do McKinsey game. Last time I applied was months ago for the 2023 Summer Business Analyst internship-- no outstanding applications. Is this just a routine refresh of game scores for future applications, or am I being considered for 2023? Anyone else receive these?

Disclaimer: I haven't done anything questionable. I'm pretty tame online tbh. Just watch TikToks and go on instagram with a comment here and there. So few years ago, I was gifted a used phone and the sim with it by an old friend. It was great and worked really well. However, I had forgotten that a...

Hi all, Deadline 1 McKinsey NE BA Intern applicant here. For all of you who took the Imbellus PSG this summer, what scenarios did you guys get for the second test? I got an exclusively note-taking game; did everyone get the same one or the typical plant defense game? Curious to see if McK is...

I am interested in consulting after my MBA. I saw MBB has locations in Minneapolis, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Cleveland. In IB these are tier 2 cities, and generally, you would see a decrease in pay and prestige. Is this the same in consulting? If the pay in Charlotte is the same as in NYC or Boston...

Just heard back from the last MBB saying I am waitlisted and have to wait 2-4 weeks to hear if they have an offer for me or not.
