Hi everyone,

I applied to two of the MBB about two weeks ago and am a bit nervous because I haven't heard anything yet. I had referrals for both; my recommenders reached out after I submitted my applications on the websites.

I was thinking of following up with my contacts in a few days if I still haven't heard anything.

Thank you so much,

An Aspiring Consultant

Hi there,

The time really depends on the office and period of the year. It could range from few days to several weeks.

Unless there is a predefined timeline for interviews in your target country, I would not be worried after 2 weeks. As Henning said, you can ask your contact if they have news in a few days.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

Honestly it can take quite a while!

I wouldn't be worried at all. If you haven't heard anything after a month you can probably reach out to double-check.

Be careful to not be too needy/pushy during this period. Patience is important here!

Hello!

It can take a while, so don´t worry for now and only follow up after 4-5 weeks

Cheers,

Clara

Hey there!

Two weeks is really short for an answer. You can wait a little longer.

Good luck!

I think your hunch is exactly right. 2 weeks is not a response time to get worried about, so you should be good for not. Asking your referrers to check in by mid/end of next week is sufficient.
