Has anyone heard anything yet?

I applied to the July deadline, but I'm kind of curious to see if anyone here has heard back given that lots of us just haven't heard anything after second round interviews
Ur done
Anyone hear back?
still haven't heard back- bain sf deadine 2
Anything?
Nope
No :(
Does anyone know if anyone they know has gotten an interview? Still weirdly haven’t heard anything
ive heard nothing from anyone (inc myself lol)
Applied for AC role in NYC– nothing yet
just received email from an associate offering to run a case with me as well as case studies resources, did not receive an interview invite yet or any more other information. anyone know if this means I’ll get a interview? feels like a whole lot of effort to run for all applicants but I may be wrong
which office did u apply to? ACI? sounds pretty promising if you ask me... maybe the invite is on the way?
I put all NE offices (Boston, DC & NY) and applied for full-time, the AC that reached out seems to be from the NY office. I’ll take the opportunity regardless but wanted to see if someone else got something similar!
That means you’ll be getting an interview. Good luck!
Hope that means you get that interview offer! Do you happen to go to a target or non-target school?
I’m non-target but diversity!
ah good luck!! could you possibly update when you get an official interview invite?
will do, won’t get my hopes up but crossing my fingers!
hi, I commented on the general thread but just got the invite for next week!
Any ACI applicants heard anything?
Not yet
.
Got round 1 invite for southern office FT AC today

I got it kinda late in the evening actually. Weird but I suppose it could be done by a computer system.

when are your interview dates?
Do all ne offices send invites at the same time? Which one were you applying too?

Just got interview invites for a west coast office (first rounds, full time)
When are the interview dates? Congrats!
do you know if all the invites for a particular office come out at once or if its rolling
Just got 1R interview invite last night at around 8pm - for this Tuesday.

anyone applying to this deadline as experienced hire? heard anything back?
are interview invites done being sent for bain ny ac?
Have u heard back
no
Did you get anything?
Anyone heard about ACI for Dallas
anyone hear today?
no :/ did you?
No:( do we think the cut off is over? I’m not sure if I should contact the recruiter or not. If so, my campus recruiter or the certain location recruiter
For those that got interviews: what types of cases should we expect? I heard the first round is extremely number heavy and often includes a poorly made graph to make sure you can extrapolate info quickly, but aside from that I’m going in blind. Anyone got any info?
what office(s) did you get interviews for? Also intern or FT?
Southern office FT
anyone know if i can take my notes during interview on my iPad with an apple pencil or is just pen and paper allowed?
did anyone here get a referral from a partner?
Did anyone apply in the west or Denver for FT- have you heard back
Just had my 1st round, so starting the thread on hearing back for final rounds or rejections:
mind if I ask how was it? the general level of difficulty?
The cases were fairly standard; this round is almost entirely about making sure you can case at a basic level before they pass you off to partners. The only thing that kinda caught me by surprise was that the cases were ~25 minutes each and I had been told in a presentation it would be ~15 minutes, so some of the issues I had to address were more nuanced than issues in shorter cases. That said, nothing to worry about if you've been practicing.
Anyone heard of anything from the LA office?
anyone not hear back yet on r1 invite for ACI? do ppl get rejection emails or just ghosted if they don’t get interview invites?
Does anyone have insight on 2nd round interviews at Bain in terms of the type of case, style, length, etc.? I know that since a partner is running it, it does tend to be something that the specific partner deals with, but aside from that is it just a standard case? Thanks!
hi there! Did you hear back after your 1R interview? Just had mine today and trying to figure out the return time.
I just finished my 2nd round
Hi guys - has anyone who applied for NE (Boston/NY) who had 1R interviews hear back yet? Had mine yesterday afternoon.

Does anyone know how soon after final rounds you usually hear back if it’s a yes?
Has anyone heard back from Bain ATL after second rounds? I interviewed earlier today and was wondering what the turn around time looked like.

Atlanta has also given offers for FT AC for the 1st and 2nd deadlines (unsure of ACI)
I'm waiting to hear back from R1 ACI NE, how long did it take between rounds... I interviewed on 7th

anyone do r2 for dc office recently? how long did it take to hear back?
just had it today, did u hear back?
Had one today for a separate office - have you guys heard back yet? It seems like it is differing among offices.
still waiting… did u hear back?
nothing on my end!
Yeah same for any Northeast office - how long did it take to hear back after Round 2 ACI? And was it email or phone initially?
Had NYC ACI R2 today starting a thread to see when people hear
Do they give you an email if you get rejected for ACI or do they just ghost?
They don’t say anything if you’re rejected except from final round in which case I think they call either way
Anyone had their R2 with Boston office this Tuesday and heard back?
i was NY and havent heard yet
Got a rejection call from interviewer, ATL AC1
When was your interview? Assuming R2 as well?
just got the offer NY ACI
Congrats!! Was it a recruiter or your interviewer? And was your interviewer from the NY office or another
the partner who interviewed me!
Congrats! I haven’t heard still. Crying inside
