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?

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I will get back and tell you how it goes!
Please do!
As a conclusion, I didn’t make it, but the recruiter said that they want me to apply for the recruitment next year. In this case, I will only need to have the final round interviews, and the recruiter will keep being in touch with me until then. Also, I will be invited to workshops for candidates preferentially and can choose the preferable time and day to have interviews.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Thanks for getting back! Albeit not the outcome you wished for, this is not the worst outcome possible and a strong signal that they believe you are a good candidate. Many McKinsey consultants make it in on their 2nd try so don't give up hope, work on the feedback, and reach out if you need help! Cheers, Florian

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:
- An offer
- An offer but for a different role, office, or start date
- A rejection but a strong desire for you to re-apply in a shortened timeframe
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!
I will get back to you soon!
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!
I will let you know how it goes!
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
- contract
- program
- starting date
Hope all goes well! Let us know the outcome.
Cheers,
Florian
I will get back to you with the result.
