Thanks to Marquis first and foremost, who is both a fellow Stanford grad and fellow ex-McKinsey consultant. After 2+ years at McKinsey, it was time to move on. I went into my McKinsey tenure with the mindset that entrepreneurship would come after my time at the firm. Check out his blog here. Subscribe to my RSS feed here.

Success Story: Here is the short and sweet version of my story (longer version below): Doctoral student applies for McKinsey APD -- rejected. Applies to firms online, sends more coverletters with every rejection. I applied to McKinsey's APD program while working on my doctorate but was not accepted.
I've been listening to your advice regarding the coverletter, and I knew I had to impress them to even get a chance of getting hired (more than 4 qualified people who were personally referred were previously turned down for this position within the past month).
