I had the final round interviews with McKinsey for the summer internship. I have received an email from them saying that they want to have a 10-15mins virtual meeting with me in order to reveal the result directly. I have no idea why they did not give me a result, and I am afraid that this can be a meeting of feedbacks (meaning a rejection). Did I fail?
Hi!
I think it doesn't necessarily mean that you failed actually - in some offices, you receive a phone call both when you get an offer and when you don't.
Good luck,

Hi there,
You have no control over this - stop thinking about it!
I know it's easier said than done, but please try to move on and not worry about this until the call occurs.
They could be calling for any number of reasons:
This is not bad news!
Only one way to find out the reason for the meeting - attend it!
And please do let us know here how did it turn out!
Hello,
There's no standard formula for the way in which final round results are given, so there's really no way of knowing this until you attend the meeting itself!
I don't think this is bad news though. Most candidates are notified of rejections via email or a quick direct phone call, so the fact that they want to do a longer, more formal meeting means they want to invest more time in you. I thought Ian's breakdown of what this meeting could be made a lot of sense - it could be an offer with a discussion about some of the conditions, or a rejection with some feedback and encouragement to apply again soon.
Best of luck, and let us know how it goes!
This doesn't necessarily mean a rejection.
Best of luck!
Hey there,
Completely normal. My hunch is that 15 minutes would be a tad too long just to talk about rejection but rather will be used to discuss details of the
Hope all goes well! Let us know the outcome.
