Last night, the Undergraduate Consulting Club (UCC) was honored to host a McKinsey & Company Speaker Panel featuring Matthew Pinto, Ritvik Ramakrishnan, and Zaim Zibran. Their valuable discussions and insights resonated with UCC members, sparking curiosity and enthusiasm within the audience. Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice while inspiring the future leaders of UCC. #McKinseyAndCompany

3 McKinsey Speakers, 60+ audience, invaluable insights, and a great conversation. As the Director of Events at UCC, I successfully organised my first event, 'The Journey to McKinsey: How Do We Get a Ticket?'. This dynamic speaker panel aimed to provide aspiring consultants with invaluable insights into the McKinsey application process, the firm's projects, and strategies to improve their chances of acceptance. Key Insights from the Discussion: 1. Prioritize Process Over Outcome Instead of fixating on obtaining a consulting role within the Big 3, your primary focus should lie in solving problems through structured thinking to create a substantial impact. Consulting, often has 10-12 hours daily, necessitates a shift in valuing the process of solution-finding over merely quantifying outcomes. 2. Craft Compelling Narratives The essence of successful applications often lies in compelling personal narratives. Crafting a passionate story and consistently infusing it throughout the application process can significantly enhance candidacy. For instance, for one of the speakers, it was their musical orchestra journey, whereas for another, it was their deep, passionate love of rockets! 3. Prepare Diligently for Case Interviews Collaborating with peers to tackle cases and seeking guidance from full-time employees are invaluable strategies for interview preparation. Get in those repetitions for case interviews. Recommended Reading: 'Hacking the Case Interview' by Taylor Warfield. 4. Master the Art of Storytelling: Utilizing the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) enables applicants to articulate their experiences effectively. Emphasizing the impact of actions and structuring responses to highlight growth and achievement is key. 5. Acknowledge the Importance of Academic Excellence: ? Maintaining strong academic performance remains pivotal in securing consulting offers. Additionally, fostering meaningful connections and adding value to relationships can uncover unforeseen opportunities and insights. Learnings from speakers: Matthew Pinto:?A mentor who taught me the value of having a network and adding value to it. Talking to more people, churn, and work hard until you reach your goal! Ritvik Ramakrishnan: Inspired me to get started in entrepreneurship and taught me the process of prioritising skills over experience at the starting. Working towards a goal and thinking big always. Having your vision clear and having definite steps for it! Zaim Zibran:?Taught me the process of working extremely hard towards a goal and taking all the steps to get there. He also taught me the importance of making myself change every day to become a better version of myself. Incremental Changes daily! Special thanks to Georgia Tech Undergraduate Consulting Club and Swayam Napuri for providing me with this opportunity and the chance to create an impact on aspiring consultants! Cheers,
