I was in the interview process with McKinsey. I had to withdraw right before my R1 round, after a reschedule, due to a personal emergency that would've changed my course entirely; that has since fully resolved. I reached back out around 20 days later to express continued interest, and was told they wouldn't be revisiting my candidacy "at this time." My application still shows as Submitted - in-progress on their portal though, so I'm not sure how firm that door actually is.
Has anyone here gone through something similar : withdrawn for a legitimate reason and successfully gotten back into the process later, whether through timing, a different cycle, or a referral? What actually moved the needle, and is there a point where it's better to just let it go and reapply fresh down the line? Looking for any advice, thanks!
