To Anyone, esp. ex-EM, TCO, HBS 2003: my 3 questions...
How do APDs compare with MBAs at McK. Are they at any disadvantage considering:
a. higher mean age
b. ?lesser "core business" knowledge
c. ?lesser interpersonal skills useful in business and consulting
What kinda value do they add to McK? Is the associate to partner ratio equal among MBA and APD associates or not? I'm an MD and interested in joining McK, but just want to know whether it would involve being at a disadvantage compared to MBAs.....
would be glad to get some insightful answers.
cheers, eom |

I agree with what the others have written. As a PhD myself I never felt treated differently than the MBAs. And you get to do miniMBA, which was one of the highlights of my time at McK.
Go for it!
