I’m about to hit 2 YOE, and I can ask a partner to review my resume, cover letter, and refer me to McK. My brief bio:
- non-target ug
- low SAT (application portal asks for scores)
- CS and Business degrees (3.7 GPA) + strong ECs
- 1 year of B4 consulting experience
- 1 year of internal strategy consulting group experience at a F50 company
- Planning to spend the next month preparing for case interviews and other application components

How likely am I to get an interview? Interested in strategy

Not McK but non-target UG, happy to chat. MBB is hiring a bunch right now. I would cast a wide net and apply soon.

If you’re getting a partner referral you likely don’t have to worry about getting an interview as long as your resume is written well and doesn’t have red flags

Can you please name any McKinsey specific red flags? Is a year at each firm a red flag given that I’ve been in consulting roles?

Agree with others, I would apply now and they will take ~1mo to get back to you. Happy to help with BCG, your profile looks solid to me
