Getting an offer is not difficult. If you’ve made it to 3rd round, you’re only 2 hours away from your offer. That is the mindset I tell all the candidates I case with.
Efforts should be placed on how excellent you want your case experience to be a, the offer is a byproduct 👌

Hi!! Currently preparing for the 3rd Round @ Mckinsey! Any tips? How difficult is to get an offer? Where to focus on?

Hey there :)
Congrats on making it this far, that’s already a great sign. At McKinsey, the 3rd round is less about technical case performance and more about senior partners testing your communication, presence, and “fit” for the firm. The cases can feel a bit less structured, sometimes more conversational, but the bar is still high.
Focus on showing clarity of thought, strong top-down communication, and genuine personal impact stories. Be ready to discuss your motivations and how you handle challenges. The offer rate is higher at this stage than earlier rounds, but rejection still happens if they feel there are doubts about leadership potential or cultural fit.
best,
Alessa :)
