How can I beef up my resume before I am allowed to apply to McKinsey again?
Last year I had an interview at McKinsey Tokyo granted through a friend who works there.

Can anyone comment on the best way to transition from MBB (analyst level) to PE?

Chance me: consulting, making it to 2nd round?
I just had a 1st round at McKinsey. Assuming: 1) I did alright on the PST 2) Crushed the first fit/case interview (guy said he'd trust me enough to put me in front of a client, thought I was good, methodical, etc.) 3) Sorta bombed the second fit/case (I misheard a thing or two, didn't present as...

McKinsey PEI questions?
Hello, I had first rounds at McKinsey last week. Made it through but I think my PEI answers were the weak point. Although I knew that would go in depth I wasn't really prepared for how much and I had to spend way too much time thinking and trying to recall details. I'd like to make a list of...
People I'd Never Hire -- Psycho PM (LOL)
We had mamamia post the same topic about Accenture vs. Roland Berger 3-4 times. He'd post, we'd give him feedback; he'd delete the topics over and over again, then ask the question again. Like he didn't want to hear what we said. So, I told him today he shouldn't be wasting people's time. Also note...

McKinsey Reputation After Gupta
Jeff Skilling, and now Rajat Gupta. I was wondering if the "track record" of ex- senior McKinsey employees doing less than honorable work will make future clients more reserved to hire them?

Why is McKinsey's Sophomore Diversity Leaders Internship only open to students at Harvard, Yale, Penn and Duke?
http://www.mckinsey.com/Careers/Apply/University_… This restriction seems kind of random. Does anyone know if they are strict about it or have plans to apply anyway if not from one of the aforementioned schools? Also, does McK offer any other networking opportunities outside of formal recruiting?
