After I submitted my applications, I was high on life for a few weeks...after all, i was at Harvard therefore, I was smart and was the kind of person they wanted at M/B/B....they told me themselves in the weeks before.
Despite what they told me, the rejection letters kept coming.

Here is a email i received upon asking for additional feedback for my application, hope this helps
ReplyDeleteKind of begs the question, if you were so smart, driven and a born leader, wouldn't you just start a business yourself and pocket the millions yourself??

Thank you for your continued interest in McKinsey. Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on individual applications. As you can imagine, we are inundated with applications and it would be impossible to reply to every request for additional feedback. In general, McKinsey has extremely high standards when it comes to recruiting. We require our consultants to have superior academic results; being in the top 5% of your class, making the Dean's honor lists, or winning the university medal are some achievements we would consider favorably. We look for strong leadership, which may include things like founding a company or charity. Overall, we look for highly motivated individuals with drive and career aspirations. Important skills for our consultants are problem solving, strategic planning, and analytical thinking. These qualities and traits are by no means exhaustive, but are indicative of the type of person who McKinsey would hire.
Thank you so much for the post you do. I like your post and all you share with us is up to date and quite informative, i would like to bookmark the page so i can come here again to read you, as you have done a wonderful job. Harrison Barnes Los Angeles Recruiter
