Can I apply to both Diversity Connect and Insight?

Eligible candidates may apply to both the Diversity Connect and Insight events. If selected, you may only attend one program. You will be asked to specify which program you are most interested in attending in your application.

If I am not selected to be a participant in Insight, may I apply for a full-time role in the future?

Yes, you may apply to the Associate full-time role in the future even if you were not selected to participate in Insight. We look forward to getting to know all interested applicants and encourage those who are not selected for the programs to visit the McKinsey website to explore our campus and virtual event calendar and future deadlines.

What is the application process and timeline for Insight?

The application for Insight is currently live and will be open until March 7th, 2023. You only need a resume for the application. Applicants will hear back by late March 2023 with the events being hosted virtually March 31st – April 1st.

How should I select my office preferences?

We ask that you select offices located where you wish to live and work full-time.

What should I highlight on my resume when applying for Insight?

McKinsey looks for APD candidates who have demonstrated a history of achievement and leadership both inside and outside the classroom. We encourage candidates to highlight not only academic qualifications but also what they have done beyond academia.

I have a conflict during the McKinsey Insight date. Should I still apply?

We encourage you to still apply to the Insight program even if you have a conflict during the dates of the program. If you are selected to participate, we can discuss options as needed.

What academic programs are eligible for Insight?

You must be studying in a US-based program and residing in the United States at the time of the program. Eligible programs include the following: medical students, interns, residents and fellows who plan to complete their program in 2024; PhDs and post-docs in a STEM or healthcare-related discipline who plan to complete their program in 2024; and only those master’s students who previously obtained an MD and who plan to complete their master’s degree in 2024.

I have interviewed with McKinsey before. May I still apply for Insight?

Insight is designed for candidates who have had limited exposure to McKinsey & Company. If you have interviewed with McKinsey in the past, you are not eligible for the Insight programs.

I am not eligible for Insight. Are there other options available?

There are many career opportunities at McKinsey. Please visit our Careers website to see roles that match your background and career goals. Additionally, we encourage our diversity candidates to consider our Diversity Connect program. The deadline for Diversity Connect applications is March 7, 2023.

If I’m in a dual-degree program, may I apply to Insight?

If you have or are pursuing multiple advanced degrees, you are eligible to apply to Insight if the program(s) in which you’re currently enrolled meet(s) the Insight eligibility requirements. The only exception is for candidates who are currently enrolled in an MBA program or hold an MBA degree. These individuals are not eligible, as our Insight programs are designed for applicants with little to no business experience.
