Did anyone else receive an invite for a case interview prep session for Mckinsey? What should I expect for the session? They explicitly said I hadn't been selected for an interview yet.

Is it a 1:1 or group session? Neither is evaluative. We are just trying to help you prep.

A group session should include an overview of the interview process, tips for successful interviews, and some practice case questions. Sometimes audience gets a chance to answer, sometimes the facilitator will present answers. Might have a few minutes for open questions at the end. Facilitator is likely a recruiter plus a consultant.

A 1:1 is less structured. Usually includes introductions, answer questions you have about recruiting, then practice case questions with feedback on your answers. Usually hosted by a consultant.

These sessions get offered at different points in recruiting depending on your region, role applied for, whether or not you’re coming from a campus source, etc. Don’t read too much into getting or not getting an invitation.

Looks like it is a group session. Thanks for the information!

Did you apply? I asked a similar question earlier today. I wonder if this signals that you will get invited to round 1 even if they said you haven’t been selected yet

I did apply, but this is for the BA position, not post-mba position. I'm wondering this as well... I don't know why they'd waste analyst time & resources on people they wouldn't interview so it's probably a good sign!

They will usually hold a mock case with you. If you get through it, you will get to Round 1.

Mock interviews are just that - practice interviews. They’re not evaluative. The only way they change your likelihood of getting an interview is if you do something really bad like make racist remarks (disqualifier, obviously). If we say it’s a practice or mock really is. We don’t lie about that. Sorry you have a different impression.
