McKinsey Summer Associate Interview

I applied to McKinsey for the MBA internship but havenโ€™t received any updates regarding an interview invitation, while some of my peers received theirs on Friday at various times. Does not hearing back yet mean Iโ€™ve been rejected? 

I participated in several private McKinsey events, as well as their Inspire and ROMBA programming, so I was under the impression that I was in a strong position to receive an interview invitation.

Hey there!

Wait for a final reply - they always send out one! No reply does not mean a rejection yet! 

Good luck!

Hi there,

Q: Havenโ€™t received any updates regarding an interview invitation, while some of my peers received theirs on Friday at various times. Does not hearing back yet mean Iโ€™ve been rejected?

It doesn't look very encouraging, but they might have also screened applications in batches, in which case it might still be possible for you to pass the screening.

Good luck!

Wait for an official responseโ€”they donโ€™t review all the thousands of applications simultaneously. In the meantime, manage your expectations and remember that itโ€™s up to them to determine the strength of your application ?

Best,
