Got rejection email from McKinsey for a summer internship, but it said they saw potential in my application and encouraged me to apply for a full-time position. Do they actually mean that?

Consulting generally takes less interns than full time, so yes they could’ve meant that

Yes, we do this all the time. Often for people who made errors that we think are very fixable, like improving on math.

The bar doesn’t change when you reapply, but it’s a real signal.

Or maybe someone we would have hired if hiring were a bit more robust now.

Is this for mba on campus recruiting? If so, that’s just the standard email. They’re not going to filter summer internship rejection emails by perceived potential. It’d be different for those that interviewed and were close but got rejected.

You should still apply next year though

SP1 is exactly right.
