Mckinsey PDP Leadership Rotation Program??
Mckinsey recently posted on my school's job board about some new rotational program they're opening up. Does anyone have any insight about what the role is actually about - the description sounds like a lot of jargon. What does any of that description entail about what you'd even be doing on the...

MBB to PE: what’s the process like?
tldr: what’s the MBB to PE interview process like? I’ve seen some WSO content on going from MBB to PE and the concensus seems to be that MBB to PE is possible. However, there doesn’t seem to be much content on WSO regarding the actual interview process from MBB to PE . I’m curious what...

Lowest ranked B School for MBB recruiting
Conventional wisdom here would suggest that you need to go to a M7 /T10 school to give yourself a decent chance of making it to MBB , You can make it from a T15 school, but the chances are lower.

MBB GPA Drop
So just got my semester final grades back. I accepted an offer for a BA/A/AC role this fall after receiving the offer. A lot of my time was spent focusing on the interviews. My GPA was already on the low end before I got the offer (3.5ish) and has now dropped to the low 3.4s. Should I be concerned?
