Bain ACI Waitlist

I was recently waitlisted after final round for the bain sf aci position. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to do in this situation/have any knowledge on whether I should just treat this as a rejection or if there’s any chance I’ll get off the waitlist?

I think it means they would wait to hear back from other people to accept offers first! Def not a rejection so don't feel bummed. How did you interview so early last week? I thought R2 started this Monday

 

i think they started doing final rounds last monday, my first round was p early around the week of 7/29 as well so i think they just had
2 weeks of candidate interviews for both rounds
