Hi! As the question says, I applied to McKinsey around two weeks ago for the generalist associate role as an APD candidate. I applied through a referral link, but have yet to hear about anything from McKinsey including the Solve assessment which I have been informed would be next steps. Should I be concerned?

How long does it take to hear back about Solve assessment after submitting McKinsey application?

Hello,
Usually you should hear back within 1–3 weeks after applying so two weeks is still within the normal range, so there’s no need to be concerned yet. Timelines can vary by office, role, and application volume.
If you don’t hear back after ~3–4 weeks,I'd recommend you to follow up with the recruiting dept in charge.
Best,
Franco
Hey,
It's typically 1-2 weeks, but I would not worry (and/or nudge your Recruiter) until at least end of next week. Two reasons:
- Some offices prefer to review all scores in a single batch before sending invites -- you might just be one of the first in you batch
- Geopolitical uncertainty typically slows down MBB hiring processes (e.g., when Covid started, waiting time were often 2-3x). Right now, firms are trying to pick up signals to predict their staff needs based on the geopolitical uncertainty happening in the Middle East. You are definitely not the first one to signal that recruiting processes are taking longer this week!
Good luck for everything :)
