I applied through university. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2014
Interview
My hiring process was no traditional. I am a MSc student, and applied for their summer insight program and was recruited for a full time interview through that application.
The interview was straight forward and as expected. I didn't receive an offer because my insights were not straight forward and my follow up explanations were not super clear. Make sure you have a clear explanation for everything you say.
Interviewers are very supportive, and appreciate the amount of time it takes to prepare for the interview.

Tell me about a time when you had to learn something new/take on a new challenge in a short time period.
2 interviews back-to-back in-person. Cases weren't super hard but you definitely need to prepare a lot beforehand to navigate the curveballs and be able to function under high stress. Expect difficult industries and focus on PEI which is half as important.
