Be glad you didn’t waste time past the app.
I got rejected from MBB but ended up in the buyside, so I wouldn’t put too much stock into what HR thinks.
McK screening calls are basically to schedule the interviews- so they already screen you based on your resume. I would apply again in a few months/tailor your resume with the help of folks at McK
yeah that blows. That said, I wouldn’t feel too bad about it -
a) it’s crapshoot
b) mckinsey is likely getting a lot of good resumes rn given the hiring spree
c) if your resume is good enough for McK per your friend, I would recommend applying to BB and hope one of them likes your resume
d) the state school you went to matters. as much as it sucks, MBB are still suckers for prestige and if you weren’t at a top state school it reduces your chances

I made it to BCG but never got an interview for McKinsey. I have to believe Mck and BCG are much more similar than different. As others have said, it’s all a crapshoot, and MBB are relatively small craps to shoot for in the grand scheme of things.
That’s good to know thank you!
Can you share info on your resume? Years of experience, current role, college, gpa, etc.

Kearney is hiring if you want to stay in consulting and do strategy. Shoot me a DM!
How long between applying/getting the referral before getting the rejection if you don’t mind my asking?
