Sadly I don't think anyone will have any insight and so continuing to be patient and trying not to overthink the situation is probably best.

Assuming you have applied to an office where campus recruiting is finished, they maybe putting you on hold while they wait to see how many existing offerees will be accepting their offers or not. Despite McKinsey growing tremendously over the last few years, unfortunately this year will a year where each office will be very cautious with their headcount.

You are right, you can't do anything at this moment, but just wait.

What you can do is just to switch your attention to smth else.

Wish you best of luck,

Hi there,

That’s quite unusual at McKinsey and not a great sign. Still as you mentioned you cannot do much now.

The only thing that could help to accelerate a decision is if you have an offer from a competitor. In any case, I believe they will let you know soon regardless of the outcome.

Best,

Hi there,

Very sorry to hear that. As you said, there's not much you can do, but I do want you to remember something!

The greatest accomplishments come from temporary defeat.

Holy cow...you got to the final, final round! So close! Imagine what you can do next year, or what other fantastic companies you can get into. If you got this close with Mckinsey, in one of the hardest recruiting years ever, think what else you're capable of.

Silver in the Olympics ain't so bad.

Chin up, better days are ahead for you my friend!

Hi there!

Sorry to hear about that, must be quite frustrating.

However, try not to worry to much, does not have to mean anything.

Partners and HR need to meet and debrief and this can take long.

In any case, does not harm to touch base with HR just in case.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
