Bain Capital 2022 - On-cycle results

Has anyone either received or heard of anyone receiving an offer for 2022 Bain Capital PE (US) after the on-cycle process that happened a few weeks ago (this is for the Associate role)? 

Went through the entire process (including final rounds), but still haven't heard back from them. Messaged the recruiter and I was told "You're still in the running".

Quite strange given how rushed the interviews were. Only way I can rationalize this is that I'm on some sort of shortlist in case other candidates who were offered spots do not sign their contract or renege. 

Two questions:

1. Am I essentially out of the process at this point or is there any hope? 

2. Should I bypass the recruiter and contact HR directly for their decision or is that a bad idea?
