I have my R1 coming up in 10 days. Lowk math is slightly cooking me because I do mistakes under pressure. Other than that working on specific problems. Any good advice I should remember when preparing or interviewing
Relatively new to casing, have my interview with McKinsey in August.
Got an early interview invite for McKinsey BA FT undergrad (interviews start in a few days). The email offered a choice: early slot or regular fall timeline. For context I was sent the email on Thursday and they said to confirm the next day by 5. I confirmed the day itself.I confirmed early — but I have very limited casing experience and started prepping this week. I had a buddy prep session with a senior analyst which was horrible. I'm improving but I think I need more runway, especially given the one-shot nature of MBB interviews and the reinterview ban. today is the 12th , the interviews would be 15,16,17th my internship calender has been updated and looks pretty heavy for the next week as well
Question for anyone who's recruited or worked at MBB: how much does it actually hurt to er the recruiter and ask to switch to the regular fall timeline? Could it mean my interview can get rescinded at all?

Got a targeted email from McKinsey their Business Analyst role, did the Solve assessment, and just got invited to interview. They're offering an early slot in July, OR I can wait for the regular timeline that starts in late August. Need to confirm by tomorrowwhich one I want.
Problem is I have basically zero case interview experience right now. If I go early I'd have about a week to prep from scratch — frameworks, case math, the whole thing. If I wait for fall I'd have actual runway to prepare properly.
I know McKinsey generally doesn't let you reinterview again for a while if you don't pass, so this feels less like "sooner vs later" and more like "one shot, when do I take it."
Anyone been in a similar spot? Does the early slot actually carry any advantage (less competition, etc.) or is it basically just about walking in prepared? Trying to figure out if I'm overthinking the "early = better chances" assumption
Hi! I’m a junior in college and have an internship at a big global company from January to July on CPT . I was working part time cpt from January to May and full time from beginning of May to end of summer August 10th. I was thinking about travelling in May back to India for 2.5 weeks and taking a leave(no PTO). My manager has approved this and I will still be working after I come back.I talked to my ISSS office and they said that it shouldn’t not be an issue as long as my passport and visa is valid(it is till 2028 because I graduate May 2027). My current internship letter says jan 20- July 26th but they are going to extend it to 12 months till December. Could there be any issues when reentering the US ? Would the different date on employment letter/ i20 in terms of end date be an issue. Should I avoid travel
