Any news from people in the same office you applied for within the same application cohort? Otherwise your friends timelines are relatively irrelevant. McKinsey tends to give feedback and tell you how to improve if it’s a “no”. In my experience from my friends they’ve never been ghosted.

IME all MBB send you a rejection exactly 2 weeks after you applied. If it's been longer, it's more likely good news than bad, if it's less, don't sweat.

I didn't hear from one for 7 weeks after applying, got the job. The other 2 rejected me exactly 14 days after applying.

Basically it’s not a “no” until you hear back. There’s no consistent pattern from what you mentioned haha
