Hi guys, I applied to McKinsey in September nd I just got a mail asking for some supporting documents. I can't lay my hands on my transcript within the time frame given. According to them, I could send an unofficial transcript for now. Would my degree certificate suffice while I process my transcript? I have two weeks to reply. Your prompt response is highly needed. Thanks guys.

i Applied too but didn't get any info from them.. didn't u submit supporting documents when u applied? I think there was an option for that.. i uploaded an unofficial transcript tho

Hi bro, I attached my degree cert, cv and cover letter. The supporting docs required as stated in the mail I received today are transcripts, high school cert, NYSC cert and a "leadership form" attached for me to fill, scan and send to them. Though I was told to send an unofficial transcript(whatever that means) to them for now but the official transcript would be needed before I can be scheduled for interview.

I actually uploaded an unofficial transcript when applying, and they still asked for the official and unofficial transcript. I guess they do have a reason for requesting for all these again. If you have your transcript from year one till final year, that could suffice while you process your official university transcript.

Thanks. I have just my year 1 nd 2 transcripts which I printed while I was still in school. Right now I can't access my login credentials to log into the the school's portal. Its been 6 years since I graduated. I'll find a way around it. Thanks

Send that and indicate that these are the unofficial transcript you have at the moment and mention that you have also started the process of getting the official transcript from the university.

That's a good one. I'll do just that. Thank you. Have you resent the supporting documents? I need some clarifications please. I sent you a pm.

Pls. what an official and unofficial transcript? Does it have to do with university graduate only?

Does it have to do with university graduate only?

Official transcript shows records of a student's work (subjects) and grades obtained. It's issued by the institution. It's unofficial if gotten from other sources like a print out from your student portal from the school's website.

Hey, what school did yoi graduate from?
Does the school have an eportal? You should be able to backdate and download from your eportal

Uniben.waeup.org click on log in top left, then click on forgot password or something like that. then use ur student I'd or matrix number and email u used to register back then...a link will be sent to u where u can print your results. Unfortunately, I am not sure final year will be available.

Uniben transcripts take like forever if you don't have someone pushing things for u.

Thanks bro. I've tried that and it worked but the email I'm talking about here was opened when I was still in secondary school and I don't use it anymore. I can't remember my password I used then. I'll send year 1 and 2 transcript I have. I hope they accept it.

I think its better you get the results from 3 to final and send too to be on d safe side...u can get it, type and convert to PDF and send...recession, jobs are scarce,...worse good jobs are veeeeery scarce and mckinsey is definitely a top job. ma guy no risk am!!..go d extra mile...

His result in his unofficial transcript will be an exception of his final year result because NO university will release final year transcript unofficially, rather, they make your REQUEST for it Officially. If you go through their career section, there is a part where they mentioned that if you do not have the full transcript of each level, you can send the unofficial ones you have, and then ask your university to send the official transcript to them. This implies that McKinsey and company itself know that it is possible you do not have the complete version of your university transcript hence the requirement for an official transcript from your university.

Second scenario is this, even if you do have your complete transcript ( I do know universities that after students request for transcript, they give it to them in person, and I also know universities that will not give official transcript to the student, they will rather send it to the places that they need it which is usually work related or school related) the company still will ask you to get your school to send your transcript to them, for confirmation of your claims in the unofficial transcript sent to them.

so yes, he can send the unofficial transcript he has.

Yea bro. McKinsey is a bluechip coy that one can't but give one's best shot. I'm doing my best to get all required docs so I don't jeopardize my chance of getting an invite. Thanks

Yea right. Obviously I can't get the official transcript within the short space of time. I'll definitely send the unofficial transcript as suggested even though incomplete. Thanks

I think there would be nothing like test or is it just interview? Pls house what are we expecting next.

good one, .oya do the needful na...

when answering/filling the leadership form, you can answer the situational question by using the STARL (situation, task, action, result and learning) approach. might help make it easier and more organized.

success bro.

The instruction on how to send the docs says we should send as one attachment. Question is are we to fill then print out the leadership form and scan along with the other docs in PDF as a single attachment?

is this what they told u to bring too? Just received the mail

Final high school results is WAEC right?

Yea, but yours doesn't include transcripts. Did you attach your transcripts during application?

Unike1:

Am thinking of scanning them all too but is there a way to place them in a single pdf file? Or how do we make them in one attachment .

Also does the leadership form need to be printed out coloured?

I think it's possible. The guys at the biz centre should do that.

merge PDF files online ...just google merge PDF files and upload d separate files, it will generate a single merged PDF file containing all files in different pages.

the leadership form is like a document where u can edit using your computer.
