McKinsey/Bain/BCG SA 2022

Now that the MBBs are open for Summer 2022 internships, I thought I'd make a thread so everyone's up to date. Does anyone know whether applying for the summer deadline rather than the fall puts applicants at some sort of advantage?

Also any other updates from MBB as a whole? Thinking that Bain might be coming out this week with interview invites but don't know if it's office-dependent

 

Anybody heard from BCG after the July 16 deadline for SA 2022? Haven’t even gotten an invite for pymetrics. Any insight on when we should hear back?

 

Did anyone hear back after the assessment? did anyone get an interview or phone screening by a recruiter? - I took it a 3 weeks ago. 

 

Has anyone who interviewed for Bain final round on Tuesday 8/10 (for any office) heard back yet? Edit: I emailed the recruiter and he said we would be hearing back from someone on their team next week -- aren't we supposed to hear back from one of our interviewers?

If anyone hears back today (or tomorrow) from Bain NYC / Boston round 2 interviews from Tuesday 8/10, would appreciate it if you could let us know here -- recruiters have told multiple people that we're supposed to be hearing back early this week.

 

Did anyone else feel that the BCG online case was super hard? Felt like the fit part went well (like most ppl lol), but had a lot of trouble with the math. 

 

I received an initiation for Bain ACI today, first round being held October 13th. 

 

Has anyone heard back from Mckinsey for a round one interview? I applied early in September and haven't heard anything - should I assume it's a rejection?

 

I believe McKinsey has shot out their first round of interviews for this cycle, I know people who are interviewing for northeast offices and I'm interviewing for another office, but am unsure about whether they'll be shooting out more as people wash out of the process.

 

Does anyone know if Bain staggers first rounds or sends them out all at once? I applied for the second deadline to NY, but haven't heard back. I know of people who have first rounds for the second deadline though.

 

Can Confirm, they have first round being held October 13th for NY and Boston Office. I got the invite today

 

Did anyone else apply for the Bain September 23rd deadline and get a first round yet? If I haven't heard back for a first-round interview should I assume a rejection?
