bump
Bump
Was told by recruiter that BCG should get back to applicants in 1-2 weeks
1-2 weeks from now or from the 28th?
They said that on June 28th so 1-2 weeks from today
was told from a guy from my school recruiting team at bain that interview decisions come out in the next few following days
Was also told they come out by the end of this week
Anyone know if theres a gc or discord for consulting recruiting tracking? Would be cool so we could all get a sense of timeline!
Here's the discord community to update the latest news and timeline for MBB, I'll drop a link here for your consideration:
https://discord.gg/QsCSY6KP
BCG interview notifications will go out the week of July 17th per an email sent out back in April for those who applied to the April round and were pushed to this round. But they always could come out earlier
Any source on this info?
“If you do not hear from our team by April 25, we will re-review your candidacy during the June 28 application drop. You will automatically be reconsidered and you do not need to re-apply. You will receive an application status update the week of July 17.” — this was from an email they sent to candidates who were pushed from the April 3rd to June 28th round
Do we know historically how long Bain applicants get till the interview after/if they get the invitation email?
last yr got around 10 days between interview invite and round 1
Last year I got the invite Friday for an interview on the following Tuesday.
Has anyone heard abt R1 from Bain? I suspect it should be today or tomorrow given what has been said in this thread but im so anxious lol
Got a R1 Bain Chicago from a T10

Any word on Bain DC?
Haven’t heard anything yet, from a target school
Have you heard back for FT?
Did anyone else get an email saying that "all full-time interviews will be hosted after the September deadline"? Did people who got a first round get something similar or was there a different/ more straightforward email sent?

Received a note from Bain Chicago that FT interviews will all be delayed until after the Sept deadline (interviews conducted started Sept 25th). ACI interviews are going to be conducted on time. If anyone has received the same information or can echo something similar for other offices please weigh in
Same thing, also Chicago

-
Bain ATL?
Nah nothing on my end - I applied as an intern
Just heard back for R1 Washington DC, Summer Associate Consultant Internship 2024 for Bain
What offices does it say on ur email, just curious because I applied to ATL
It was just DC, I think I assigned like 60% weight to it
Jealous. Congrats!
Was this for Bain or BCG? I heard BCG hasn’t been out yet?
Ah yes, this was for Bain! I realized that I never put it on there, I just edited it. I haven't heard back from BCG yet and I believe they're releasing decisions the week of July 17th or the end of next week.
Just got invite for Bain Boston and NY internship - Ivy

-

Wondering abt FT as well. Haven't heard back yet for bain sf
Got a Bain SF FT 1st round
Did Bain release NYC/Northeast ACI all at once or is it trickling out?
bumpppp
Any interns hear about Denver?
Are the interviews in person or on zoom? If they’re in person are they based on your office and if they are what happens if you can’t make it to that location?
bain first rounds should be online
second rounds are usually in person with an option to do online
Are the interviews in person or on zoom? If they’re in person are they based on your office and if they are what happens if you can’t make it to that location?
Anyone get their interview scheduled or still waiting?
Still waiting, they said they’d reach out by Monday for scheduling
deleted
Are interviews coming out rolling at all or should all interviewees from all offices have heard by now?
Interviews are coming out in batches over last week and this week for Bain.
are you sure? where did you hear this?
Bump
bump^
has anyone heard back from bain houston?
Recruiter said that they should have them out within the next week, so this week or so
which recruiter did you reach out to? Also could you dm me so we could connect
Has anyone heard back from Bain ATL for ACI or FT, or knows the status?
Has anyone heard from Bain SF for FT interviews?
Have not yet, tho above some ppl say they have. I’m praying. Running out of hope tho. 🙏🙏🙏
got one on friday!
has anyone heard from NYC FT for Bain?
bump
bump
Yes I know people who have
Has anyone heard FT from Bain Boston?
Does Bain do resume review by school (if target) or by office? Or combination?
to my understanding it is a combination: both your school recruiter and your first choice office are guaranteed to read your application
If it’s a target school, it’s just people at your school reviewing resumes.
Did anyone get notified from CREW Bain Chicago office? I thought that we were guaranteed a R1 for ACI but got no email
CREW receives emails for final rounds, not R1.
So does CREW guarantee final round? Or is it like, if I get to R1, I will automatically be sent to final?
Are you in CREW and what office? Also source?
Hey, do you know if your friend has 1 meeting or 2? Like 1 or 2 cases for Bain R2?
Has Chicago office wrapped up or it's still rolling?
Also wondering this
I'm from target school for ACI; we got our emails interviews have been pushed back to September again
Did anyone else apply to bain Seattle and get an interview about being impressed by your application but all interviews will take place after September deadline? Does anyone know about this office's specific recruiting process also?
Can I ask which position are you applying for? AC/ACI? Thank you!!
AC. What about you what have you heard?
Anyone here from Atlanta or have any insight?
bump
I have heard people got ATL AC interviews on Saturday
Would you happen to know if any interns positions heard back?
Would that be the only wave of interview invitations?
Have any ACIs heard from Bain Northeast or Seattle?
Got a R1 Bain Boston (From a Target)
Already scheduled my interview with Seattle ACI
Has anyone heard from bain houston for aci
Anyone who applied to NYC office for ACI get a R1?
Also wondering this. Was told by a manager that we should be getting a decision regardless by Wednesday at the latest but who knows what that means
I scheduled my interview for Bain NYC/Boston (it was for the Northeast Offices but NYC is my first choice)
Are u applying for AC or ACI?
Still waiting.
Anyone receive interview for Chicago ACI?
bump
at a target school in the midwest and have friends who received Chicago ACI R1s, they're interviewing next Monday and Tuesday (7/17,7/18)
fuccccck
when does bcg come out ??
Does BCG come out this week? Anyone have any info for target schools? NYC offices?
Has anyone heard back from bain DC FT?
Nope. Have you heard anything about the timeline?
Honestly no clue at this point
Has anyone had a recruiter reach out ahead of their scheduled ACI interview for Bain per the email that said “A recruiter will be in touch in advance of your interview date with additional details.”
If you rank an office higher and pass through the screening do they automatically only consider you for top choice?
Which firm? Bain only considers you for your top office. BCG will pass you off if you're qualified but they are filled already (this happened to my friend).
This was for Bain. Thank you!
posted on another thread, but does anyone know if Bain will usually send out all invites from a particular office on one day only, or is it throughout the week? just wondering if I should slash my hopes at this point and move on
Imma be honest...slash your hopes. I'm in your shoes. Recruited last yr too so ik
I think it depends which office. Heard from recruiter that Bain Texas was sending out invites on a rolling basis through end of July.
Where did you hear this from? And also what does rolling basis mean in this case?
