McKinsey Edad Rejection

Question

Hi,

I got rejected from McKinsey Edad despite coming from a top global target school with high gpa and strong leadership. I think I messed up the solve game slightly since my ecosystem didn’t work out at the end, but I did decent on redrock and very good on the sea wolf game. Was I rejected because of Solve? And if so, will my score hold since I’m applying for summer internships this upcoming summer?

Answer 1

Hi there,

First of all, sorry for the rejection!
Solve + CV evaluation may be the reason for it, as you’re competing with other applicants for the spot. An average performance in Solve probably weighted more, considering your statement.

I don’t believe the score will be used for the internship program, but it’s worth confirming directly with HR/past participants.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Hi!

I am sorry you were rejected :(

To answer your questions:

It could very well be that you were rejected because of Solve, but it could be anything else e.g. strong competition, CV reviews
Your score MAY hold if the office uses the scores or if it falls within the "cooling off" period. But this is office dependent, so I highly highly recommend you reach out to your HR person to find out the details

Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes, it is possible that you were rejected by Solve. Also take into consideration that Mckinsey may be slow in recruiting into your target office.

Solve results are usually valid for 6 months. I believe you will get the internship interview later than that.
