Hi there,

It's definitely possible and doesn't sound promising but I honestly would not jump to conclusions just yet. Wait another week and then reach out to them.

Hope for the best but also prepare for the worst (i.e. apply to other firms, keep preparing for other interviews, etc.)

Fingers crossed for you!

Hi there,

This doesn’t sound promising indeed. Given one week already passed, you can reach out to HR to ask if they have any feedback. McKinsey normally notifies candidates but this could help to clarify the outcome faster.

Best,

Hey there,

Usually, the rejection call or email should come before the change in status in the system. I would directly email or call HR to clarify.

Fingers crossed!

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your experience. It is very strange to not hear back at all from McKinsey after the first round of interviews even if you did not make it to the next round. I would reach out to HR and ask for more information and feedback.

If the dashboard says closed it is likely you did not make it and they forgot to tell you but it does not hurt to double check with HR.

Best,

Hi!

I'd send an email to HR for a follow-up.

Good luck,

Anto

It clearly seems that there was a problem in communication. Reach out to HR with that same question (i.e., that you see that the status is closed but that you did not receive any formal communication).

Given the circumstances, it really looks like things didn't work out for you and you didn't receive the email with the bad news… but check with them anyway.
