McK asked for my preschool references. I was a trouble child so they accelerated my application straight to the top.

Yeah, it only got weird when they asked for a stool sample.

They are testing to see if you lie. If yes, you meet the personality screen.

Maybe they want you to do undercover research/focus groups (a la 21 Jump Street) so they could better sell high schoolers tobacco or vape pens or maybe even get them hooked on opiates then.

If you are currently in high school, and your highest education (to date) is high school, and if you are applying to some program initiated by McKinsey, then maybe that could make sense.

I’m about to graduate from medical school, nothing makes sense to me anymore lol

Does McK exclude GED holders?!?

funny

No

I would be screwed. My HS GPA sucked because I was an undiagnosed dyslexic and struggled

I’m assuming you are a new grad applicant??

@SM1 no I do not lol

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
