Bain September 15th Deadline
Thought I'd create a thread for those applying to Bain's September 15th deadline. How limited do you think FT slots will be given there were two prior rounds?

Just talked to a friend at Bain who works for a medium-sized office and helps with recruiting. She said that her office is having to reevaluate hiring numbers for the September 15th deadline given that it isn't a mega office so they can't just go crazy on ACs, there are concerns of slowing work due to impending recession, and, as you mentioned, they almost filled a normal class already in the prior two rounds. This info is definitely office specific, and I'm pretty sure other offices will still be hiring quite a bit, but this is just one data point. If I took anything away from my convo it's that mega offices are maybe the safest bet as smaller offices may have already filled their classes (I'm extrapolating here though). Happy to hear other thoughts.
I'm applying to a mega office (ny /sf) and the consultant said they're planning on hiring ~15% more than last year, so this info is certainly office specific.
Wouldn’t they stop or not send out interview invites if this was the case for the September 15th deadline?
Anyone hear back yet?
U.S. offices aren’t rolling, so you won’t hear until after September 15th
Hate to break it to you, but if you're not ab-so-lute-ly extraordinary in every way, then you missed the boat. Round 1 they filled up some 80 of the class, round 2 was the other 99, and this round is for diversity candidates that learned about consulting recently, but have internships at google, Goldman Sachs, a 36 ACT, 4.0 ACT from Princeton, started a successful non-profit, were on shark tank, and are incredibly gregarious.
I know this because that's what my Bainie buddy told me as I was catching up with him a couple weeks ago--words from him, not me.
Godspeed of course, but don't hold your breath.
What office was your friend talking about? A Megaoffice or regional?
Did everyone get the case prep email?
Yes, honestly wouldn't put too much stock into it
which case prep email? for the webinar? I am ACI
Just got an interview for SF office
Bump anyone heard anything?
sf interviews are all out (came out last week) and r1 interview was today. would assume this holds true for most offices
Anyone hear back from the DC office? I applied for the second deadline, but was waitlisted and told I'd know my results by Sept 30th. I'm assuming they wanted to look over my application with the 3rd wave of applicants.
Nothing so far...
rejected from bain (no interview)
Update: just received a R1 invite to DC Bain. Interviewing next Thursday.
are rejection emails sent or should I just expect to stay ghosted?
They should be sent. Maybe you're waitlisted or your office is just slower atm. I didn't get anything when most of my friends got their R1 invites/rejections, then got an email that I was still being considered weeks later.
