So if we’ve heard nothing from Bain what does that mean. I thought I had a good enough application to get an interview. For reference I go to a T1

 

yeah, just got a rejection email. honestly super surprised (high GPA, HYP undergrad, had a coffee invite from the office, AND from socal). oh well!

 

If I was interviewing for first round for Northeast offices and it said Boston and NY, if my interviewers were from NY and Boston and not the same office does that mean that my first round interviews were separate and each office will only consider their interview with me?
