I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

McKinsey Internship Opportunities for ongoing PhD Students

Hi all, 

I was wondering if anyone has any advice for PhD students on internship opportunities at McKinsey? 

I understand, from the website, that PhD students are allowed to apply for associate internship roles. 

However, during a networking event, the HR reps from the firms mentioned that PhD students should apply for the Junior Associate track. Since there are no Junior Associate Internships, they suggested that I just apply for junior associate full time. 

What do you guys advise?

Cheers
