A-Level Certificates

Do MBB/other firms require you to submit A-Level certificates? I will have to order replacements if they do so just want to make sure I will have them in time.

Hello!

First of all, just to clarify, they only want certificates when doing a background check. This happens only when they have hired you, and they are verifying that you didn´t lie in the resume. 

This said, in my case they required the academic titles that I listed, but copies were fine. 

Nothing that you should think of when preparing tought!

Hope it helps,

McK did in my case. The others not. But even they did not need originals but a digital copy was enough.

Hi Anonymous,

Most firms don't, but if so a copy will be enough.

McKinsey London never did for both the summer internship and joining full time. I would worry about it only when asked but your university degree should be enough.

You should be ok. If they do ask, you'll have ample time to request the university send them through.

Hello there, 

they usually don't. You could take a copy or contact the university in advance just in order not to worry much.

Cheers,
