Got feedback from McKinsey recruiter that my R1 interview evaluation was flat with no spikes (for both cases and PEI), which was surprising because I essentially told the same story as my interviews with my other BBs and still advanced to final round. Does anyone know what McKinsey is looking for that the other BBs are not?

I thought they don’t give feedback for PEI portion

We don’t coach on PEI/give mocks like we will for cases, but you will absolutely get interview feedback on it
