Bain AC mega thread
We had this going last year and it was fun to hear the progress over the month or so. Best guess is R1s sent out this week.

following - heard that some people received invite to case workshop. Has anyone else received it?
They did a case chain this year in select offices, but I haven’t heard of an interview specific case workshop yet
does this mean that those who haven't received it are rejected?
No different offices have different timelines. If it’s like last year they invite you to a case workshop once you get R1. Best bet is to communicate with folks also applying to your office and your year.
Has anyone heard about Bain AC Seattle?
Bain AC chicago and ACI dropped
Invites go out by school not Bain office
do you know if AC and ACI go out same time? Have a friend at same school that received ACI invite but I'm waiting for AC right now...
There was a comment on Reddit - invites to go out all week by school
Bain AC(I) for NY / BOS also released
anyone hear
Haven’t heard anything yet
Just came out
Is NY out?
has anyone gotten atlanta?
yes
NY AC , top target school dropped
Has anyone heard from Atlanta AC for R1?
yes
Do you go to school in Georgia?
Anyone heard back about r2s?
Should be Friday//Monday next week. Source: folks on recruiting team.
the interviews or hearing back?
It is possible some offices have already concluded R1 but NY for example is still interviewing tomorrow
Yeah, same with Chicago. Through tomorrow.
Has NYC released yet for ACI R2? And is it a call or an email usually lol
Anyone east coast hear back for R2?
West coast anyone hear back R2?
Anyone heardback from east coast FT for R2 ?
Just got the call for Chicago
Same.
TWINNN
Anyone hear back AC SF for R2 yet?
nope waiting
ACI SF R2 anyone heard?
Does anyone hear back for R2 from Chicago AC?
Yes. They started calling Friday,but emails were sent today.
I didn’t even realize Chicago was interviewing last week 😭 mine is this week. Didn’t get the option to schedule any other time- wonder how they split people up
Hey, I got the call a similar time as you but did not get a scheduling email :( What time was yours sent?
A
Bump. Any clue by when they usually respond after Northeast r2 (AC)?
anyone have any idea what the offer rate is after r2? have seen a huge amount of variation in the numbers online
ive heard 50% roughly. In my r2 case webinar we had like 40 people and that included ac and aci. So 20 offers sounds about right
So about 20 offers for ACIs? I guess the conversion rate depends on how many r2s they are giving out. Do you have any numbers on how many a typical big bain office would have? (or any guesses.. just any thoughts)
Anyone Atlanta hear back with offers after r2? AC or ACI?
Same question, but for northeast? Ny/boston
AC offer secured
Congrats! When was your/this person’s interview? Is there an expected/usual number of days?
Which office is this for
is it too late to apply to Texas offices?
you could apply via the second deadline
are northeast r2 ac decisions out yet?
Definitely some
Anyone hear anything since northeast R2 AC?
Anyone know when Chicago AC interviews are over?
have you heard back from Chicago AC?
Not yet… probably today
