Hi Corrine,
I agree with Ian here, the solution is provided (as well) in the video.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,

I interviewed with McKinsey last year but did not receive an offer. I'm now reapplying and wanted to ask whether it's generally acceptable to reuse PEI stories that I shared during my previous interviews, assuming they're still my strongest examples. Thank you for the help!
