MBB FT 2026

Hi all,

Looking to better understand the FT process for MBBs. I understand all 3 close first round of applications early July. I’ve already received an aptitude test from Bain, but other than that I’ve only heard crickets. Do I just wait until the round officially closes to learn more or is there information as to when they will reach out?

On topic, I’m a currently MSF student at a target school. Lower GPA but also work FT at a well-known AM firm, have internship experience at a Big 4 within strategy, and another strategy role at a small, niche AM firm. While my grades aren’t the best, would my experiences ”override” the lower GPA?
