ex-EM, HBS or bucktown:
Could any of you comment on the following?
Assuming that 10 associates start together, about how many make EM and how many are asked to leave/leave on their own? How about EM to AP? I think I heard that from AP, 1 in 2 make principal.
I also read ~1.5 year average tenure for McK careers and that unless you have more than 5 years at McK (or make AP), you really didn't succeed. Are these views correct?
Cheers

% of associates that make EM: maybe 25-50%? (based on my experience in one office, looking over several classes' worth of associates - but note, small sample size!)
EM-AP: highly variable (here the sample size really gets too small to make generalizations)
~1.5 years average tenure seems low to me, I had heard 2 or 2.5 years when I was starting.
As for "unless you have more than 5 years at McK (or make AP), you really didn't succeed," I have never heard such a thing - anyone else?
And in response to your p.s., plenty of people leave on their own. Though it can be very hard to tell. People are pretty quiet about whether or not they got counselled out. However, I know many cases where people definitely left on their own, usually either for lifestyle issues (as mentioned by the other poster), or to pursue opportunities of more interest to them -- either going back to where they came from (e.g., law, medicine, even academia) or leaping at something that presented itself to them while at McK.
