What will the project dynamics be on a project staffed with 3mdps, a PL, and myself, a summer UG intern? Just got staffed and will be hearing more on Monday from the team, but it came across as an interesting staffing composition.
Have the feeling I'll be making quite a few slides as the only junior. Anyone staffed on a similar case composition?

I messed up the math in nearly all of my cases and was fine. This is not something we heavily weight.
Not totally true. How you definite “heavily” is subjective but I would say it’s pretty relevant. What’s more important is how badly OPs screw up was
One person’s math “mistake” is another person’s rounding error!
How long did it take for you to hear back from when you applied?
I lost out on a MBB final round offer recently because of the math. That was my only negative feedback....
Dont DQ yourself though. Anything can happen. That's just what happened to me.
Would probably make you borderline.

Depends on how drastic the mistake was, whether you realized it yourself, and how you recovered.
Conceptual / illogical mistake vs forgetting to carry the 2? Very different. My mck interview I made some minor mistakes, still got the offer
Did you do it wrong or did you structure it wrong? Yew care that you know how to do the process and know in life you will have a calculator and Excel.
Thanks so much to you and everybody who replied! My approach was correct and I understood what I was solving for (I feel I laid out the conceptual framework correctly). It was a calculation error after mishearing one of the original facts. I’m just worried because it took me a bit of time to realize that.
I totally butchered a math question on 1/3 of my final cases. More about resilience. Still here!
Then again, it all depends on what type of math mistake
Thank you!! Great tips
