What Actually Gets You In

Acceptance rate is a measure of competition, not a measure of how qualified you need to be. Most rejected candidates don't fail on ability: they fail on preparation.

  • Passing the online tests (most candidates don't practice enough)
  • A specific, credible answer to “Why KPMG?”
  • STAR answers that isolate your individual contribution
  • Commercial awareness that goes beyond surface-level knowledge
