McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company what are my chances of even getting past the first round of the application if I have a 3.0 GPA from non-target school (C/o 2021) with 2 years+1mo of experience as a Commercial Credit Analyst at BofA as a first gen student, bilingual. Isn’t it pretty slim?

What does it matter? You listed a bunch of static facts that will never change - the answer is always no if you don’t do anything, so you might as well apply.

Exactly. So who cares what your chances are?

Just apply and see yourself? Worst thing that can happen is a rejection, so what?

I’m a CSP from a non target and got in with a 2.8 in undergrad engineering, but had close to 4.0 in grad school

Almost 0.

I had a 2.7 gpa due to undiagnosed learning differences until 3rd year of college. Worked extremely hard to turn it around later and got a bunch of cool work experience. It’s all about perspective, your story and your grit. Your chances of your resume being picked up out of a pile are slim but you can try to build relationships with the recruiter or a Partner/SP and get them to advocate for you to at least get an interview

Now May not be the best time to apply. Current profile has slim chances plus the market conditions don’t help. What can you do from now for the next 1-2 years to add to your profile. That would be the question I would ask.

Hi Fishes,
I had 4-5 rounds of interview in Amazon in last 1.5 months, including bar raiser. I got a mail stating I am selected for position within 4 hours of my bar raiser round.
HR asked for a few documents like last 3 months payslips, ECTC etc. It's been 4 working days and that HR is not replying on my mail. It is fine or something is off track ? Any suggestions ?
Does they usually turn back after sending selection mail and asking for documents
