When can I expect to hear from Mckinsey about my Solve result

I took the Solve Mckinsey's game last Friday and have not heard any result from them. I wasn't prepared well for the game so I did not feel very good about it. I'm a little concerned about the result. When should I expect to have the result back from Mckinsey? P.S. I'm applying for associate intern at US offices for next summer as an APD candidante

Hello!

For what I have heard, up to couple weeks is totally normal, so wait a bit more and then follow up. 

Fingers crossed for u!

Cheers,

Hey there,

The usual span is 14 days, however, most candidates hear back within a week. In certain cases, it can also be a longer wait.

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome!

Cheers,

Florian

From my experience, typically 1-2 weeks but can also take a lot longer these days, when recruiting is in full swing.

Hi there,

First of all, fingers crossed that you will pass the McKinsey Solve!

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

  • Generally speaking, from the experience of my coachees and my personal network, you should normally hear back within 14 days. Most of my coachees already heard back after about 7 days, but it also lasted longer for some.
  • Moreover, there seems to be no correlation between the time until you hear back and the results, so please don't think badly in case it takes longer.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your upcoming McKinsey interviews, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hi there,

The time to get a reply after the Imbellus/Solve game varies. It is often within 2 weeks but can be longer. The longest I heard was 2 months and the result was positive. 

Good luck!
