Hi please share insights on your R2 cases - what kind of math problems did you see in R2, and were the cases that you got similar to your partners / offices industries?

I recently received an acceptance for the McKinsey Forward Program. For those who have completed the program, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Was it worth the time commitment? Is it resume worthy?What did you gain from it, and what were the biggest takeaways? I'm trying to decide if I should fully commit to the program and am curious about your experiences. Any advice would be a huge help!

I got my solve results and it is 487 , ranking 3 (1 is low , 10 is high)

I want to know

1. What is the max score ?
2. Is there a bell curve for solve ?
3. What does 3 even mean

Damn, I feel stupid

I applied for Business Analyst and Associate Intern Roles. I took the Solve Assessment and I am yet to receive any response.

My application status shows - in progress for both of them.

Any suggestions?

Fortunate to have offers from both (undergrad). McKinsey has always seemed like the strongest of the MBBs, but I really want to live in New York after grad and wouldn't get to do that at McK.

For current ACs: how much does your home office matter at McK/Bain (i.e. will I be traveling a ton regardless and therefore should go with the firm I like more rather than the city I like more?)... and how would you weigh this decision overall?

anyone who appeared for mckinsey dolve between 15th April to 21st april.,

hace u got any reply back either for rejection or selection?

Hi all ! I got accepted to McKinsey NGWL Asia but I dont know how it works,or if this is even worth the time. If any one got selected in the same or have knowledge about it please let me know. Dm works too

Hi everyone,

I’m a Canadian student and I just finished my first year of a BCom degree (degree is 3 years total), majoring in Mathematics & Statistics and minoring in Business Analytics.

This past year, I wasn’t able to build much extracurricular involvement because my school is extremely selective when it comes to clubs/competitions, and I didn’t get into the ones I applied for. As a result, I don’t really have the usual consulting-related extracurriculars on my resume right now.

My GPA is solid (3.74/4.0), though not exceptional, and this summer I’ll be completing a consulting internship at PwC in my home country.

I’m planning to apply for internships at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, and the application deadline is in about a month. That gives me roughly one month to work on projects that could help compensate for my lack of extracurriculars.

For those who work at MBB (or have gone through the recruiting process), what kinds of projects would actually stand out to recruiters and improve my chances of landing an interview?

Right now, AI seems to be everywhere, so I’m wondering if it would be worth building something using AI (for example, a small app/tool) to demonstrate initiative and show I know how to leverage new technologies. Or would recruiters value something else more?

I’d really appreciate suggestions for projects that are:
\- realistic to complete in \~1 month
\- genuinely interesting/impressive to recruiters
\- relevant for consulting applications

Thanks a lot.

Hi! I’m really lucky to have a McKinsey SBA offer for 2027. I also have an internship offer at a hedge fund. I’m leaning the hedge fund to learn more about macro economics and systems in a formulaic way I have never done before, but it has worse intern to full time conversion.

My question is, if I give up SBA, will full time recruiting be much harder? (I go to a target school and have a high GPA in a STEM field, for context)

Thanks!
