Bain September deadline
Haven't seen any Bain September deadline discussion so just wanted to create one for Bain AC/ACI second batch. Has anyone heard back from them regarding the first round interview?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the timeline for hearing back from Bain after interviews can vary. Some users reported waiting for a few days, while others mentioned a longer wait. However, there's no specific mention of the Bain AC/ACI second batch or a September deadline in the context provided. It's always a good idea to reach out to your recruiter for the most accurate information. They can provide specific details about the timeline and process.

bump - applied Sep 9 Boston office, no updates yet
In response to whether the NA offices are still hiring and when the procedure will be wrapped:
HI [my name],
Yes, we are still hiring and interviewing for our AC position across NA.
And yes, the process will be wrapped by mid-October.
This is from AC recruiter at the NE (Boston) office
does this apply to offices in the south as well?
ACI or AC?
When did you hear back from them?
also applied Chicago but haven’t hear back yet ;(((((
Bumping here. Applied to Boston and NY for AC and have yet to hear back.

all interview slots will be selected by Monday, Sept. 25th at 12:00 PM EST

Bump. Haven’t heard of anyone who’s heard back from Boston or NYC
my friend got east coast r1!
My friend also got NYC R1 scheduled for next week
Has anyone heard back from Boston yet?
bump - feel like most ACI R1 interviews are released across offices; anyone received any updates on AC R1, esp Boston & NY?
Bain FT NY is out, was out yesterday
Thanks for the info! May I ask if it is Northeastern or New York in the email?
What about Chicago AC R1? Has anyone heard back anything?
Not yet. Did u applied second round or got pushed from first?
Well, keep posted if you hear back. Applied to second round, I don't think you can get pushed from first round.
My friend got first round interview invite on Monday, AC - Chicago
anyone hear back for Bain ACI in Chicago?
Has anyone heard back from Boston AC? Wonder if the release of NY AC interviews means that Boston AC interviews have also been sent, considering that these two offices are often treated as one in the Northeast?
Applied for chicago in 1st wave, and received an email in July telling me that i would continue to be considered, and all interviews would be hosted in sep and October after all applications are received. Thought that this email meant I got an interview, but still nothing yet, weird..
I actually asked the recruiter and was told this is not a guarantee for interview. But I do know people who got rejected right away… Hang in there!!
are rejections out yet?
yup got mine several hours ago
Is this rejection from an interview or rejection after R1?
(0/3) this year :((
how long does it take after R1 interview from SF office to hear back?
Anyone got interview for Chicago AC? Saw the rejections are out but I haven’t get anything yet…
Well, hang in there. You never know!
any rejections/ r1 interviews for Boston Associate Consultant applicant?
received rejection from Atlanta AC! do all rejections include “we welcome you to apply in 2024 and beyond?”
i got the same message of "...while we understand this may be disappointing news, we welcome you to apply again in 2024 or beyond..."- dont look too deeply into it lol - its the same for everyone
Rejected from Atlanta office
june or september era?
dang this is scaring me haha, have my interview tomorrow for sf :")
good luck buddy nice work!
thanks, also just wanted to add this is for round 1 ACI lol. i definitely haven't heard back.

.

Is Bain AC FT for NYC out … anyone know
It was out last week :(

Anyone heard back from sf ac?
^^
Anyone hear back on R2 for AC?
I can confirm that SF R2 is out for both AC/ACI. Unsure if all R2 invites are out, but some of them definitely are.
just got r2 for sf aci
Same
Same
Does anyone know about the differences in difficulty between the first and second round interview? Am curious about AC NE specifically if that helps. Was also wondering what the format of 2nd round interview is
Have you gotten any 2r scheduling emails yet? I haven’t but also have an exploding offer and wondering when they’d send them out.
Any updates for receiving NE ACI 2nd round invite?
does anyone know what the turnaround from R2 to offer/rejection is? asking abt NE office
Honestly they get back to u on the same day or in a day or two
will they email or phone call us about round 1 delibs?
when did you have your round one
Monday
I just had my 2nd round for Bain AC in the NE office. I asked when I would know about decisions and they said by next week (Oct 13th) - is this a bad sign or just what they tell everyone. It seems like people who get an offer usually hear back within a day or two, so i was wondering if maybe this isn't true?
curious as to what ended up happening if you don't mind sharing, waiting on news after R2 rn
just finished R1 in Chicago, how did you guys feel?
For AC or ACI?
ACI
I applied to NY office ACI, but haven't heard back anything ever since the application (no R1, nothing). My friend who also applied to NY received her rejection yesterday, should I just assume that they are sending the rejections in batches?
Has anyone heard anything about offers for ACI in Atlanta? Had second round last week and am waiting to hear back
Has anyone heard back from NE ACI? Had R2 last Tuesday waiting to hear back
Exact same situation, I've heard nothing.
All ACI R2 interviews for SF were conducted yesterday. Has anyone heard back for SF ACI?
Nothing yet
also have not heard back
haven't heard back too. Any updates?
still nothing for me
also waiting. anyone hear back?
Still waiting :((
Has anyone heard back?
still waiting too! any updates from anyone??
Same still waiting - feel like they would’ve called people they were giving offers by now though
Still have not heard back...
Anyone know if all the ACI NE R2s are done? Has anyone heard anything
I was waitlisted from the SF office during summer recruiting, and was told I would hear back October 13th. Maybe they will reach out to people who applied during this cycle first, but we should all find out by then. Hope this helps :)
thnx for sharing. is it for AC or ACI?
ACI!
Did you hear back today if you don’t mind me asking? I haven’t yet
Did my Chicago AC R2 yesterday, anyone hear back yet?
Did mine Monday and haven’t heard back yet for AC
got a call saying no
haven't heard back for Chicago AC either
Has anyone heard anything from NE ACI recruiting (waitlist or normal)
bump
Anyone get a call?
Starting a new comment thread given that there have been multiple threads talking about calls after R2 interviews but no one seems to have gotten one yet. So, if anyone has heard back from AC/ACI R2 interviews for any location, can you please help the rest of us by replying with your role (AC/ACI) and location? Thanks!
Rejected from SF ACI R2 via email just now
same but for FT
Know someone who received an offer two days after R2 FT but personally have not heard back
what office was the offer for?
SF ACI is definitely out, just got a call for a rejection
Sorry to hear :( Do you know if all of the results are out? I have not heard anything but maybe they're just rejecting in waves at this point :/
