% 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.

From what I hear, in Europe roughly 10% of BAs makes it to Partner, versus roughly 20% of Associates. Less than half of the Partners make it to Director (in about 6 years time).
Very rough ballpark number I mean to remember was that the firm contained about 10,000 professionals of whom 1,000 were partners. This info might be from several years ago but shows the ballpark 10% number.
