Postponing Mckinsey Solve

Hi there, 

Congrats on getting to the Solve Game!

McKinsey will typically allow you to postpone, so no need to worry I believe. If there was no way of asking for postponement mentioned in the email, I would suggest to contact the office you are applying with - e.g., you could simply call reception, and ask for contact info (email) for recruiting. Then you can email them to ask for postponement. 

Hope this helps!

Sincerely, 

Thor

Hey there :)

It’s common to ask for a short postponement, and McKinsey usually accommodates if you reach the right contact. The general email you replied to isn’t monitored, so you should try contacting the recruiter or HR contact listed in your interview invitation, or the recruiter who managed your application through the portal. If you don’t have a direct contact, reply through the portal messaging or look for “Recruiter Contact” in your application dashboard. A polite note explaining your MBA exams and requesting a one‑week delay usually works.

Hello,

McKinsey usually allows short postponements for valid reasons like exams, so don’t worry too much. Try reaching out directly to the office to ask who would be the right person to speak to. 

Yes, you can ask for a postponement. Try to reach out as early as possible, be polite and provide a clear reason. 

Who to contact? You should look for a contact address for the recruitment team at the specific office you are targeting.

Best,
