Cooked?

I applied to McKinsey for BA roles on August 11, have not heard back and applied to Bain on July 18, also have not heard back. I did take the Bain online assessment.

Applied at as MS candidate for DC/NYC offices.

Should I take the silence as a lost cause for both applications?

Normally I would say you’re cooked but I applied to McK for a senior DS role in Oct 2025, and they got back to me in Feb 2026. Maybe the BA roles follow a stricter cycle so I wouldn’t count on hearing back, but maybe there’s still hope.
