I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Beijing, Beijing) in Aug 2011
Interview
I did the PST and only finished two cases, guessed the third, pass on to the second round. The group break out was more fun and more relaxed. Although they say it's non-evaluative but do your best as they do take notes of each person.

Question 1
some math calculations in the PST and even the first part on understanding the information of each case. Also lots of graphs and tables.
It was a one-to-one interview with a consultant. It's a typical case study. The experience was traumatizing. I know my answers weren't great, the consultant was elegant and didn't bother to hide his boredom.
