Hi there,

Events and standard applications are two separate channels, so it could well be you are rejected for events and invited for interviews when you apply.

Events sometimes have very limited capacity, so although it seems strange that may be even more selective than invitations for interviews.

Having said that, if you have some friends in consulting definitely ask their opinion on your CV to see if there are any improvements.

Not at all! I promise you're fine!

I've actually done research in this space and found that, while there is a positive predictive co-efficient/correlation to being invited to an invite-only event, it is by no means a pre-requisite to being accepted to interviews.

I promise you, my data research showed that, even if you were not invited to a company event, you still had a reasonable chance of being invited to interview!

Hi, if you are talking about the ban to apply again for a full-time position the answer is no. Of course something can be improved in your CV before applying but you can do it

This is very funny.

I was accepted to the BCG summer discovery program and then rejected from BCG.

I didn't apply or attend Bain / McKinsey programs but got interviews / offer there.

Virtual coffee chat correlation with application rejeciton? Dubious.

Can you please post your full question :)
