Bain BEL 2021 Decisions

Figured it would be helpful to create this as a way for everyone to update each other when/if they receive offers for this summer's program. In 2019, decisions were released May 8th (Wednesday), while last year decisions weren't released until June as a result of COVID.

Appreciate everyone's input/info when they get it!

"All interviewees will hear back with BEL program decisions in mid-May" according to the interview email. May 8th might be a bit early. 

 

I heard back from Chicago! If you look on LinkedIn, I believe Boston, DC, Atlanta, and Chicago have been notified. I would have also expected the other offices to have already notified their participants.
