Bain BEL
I got invited to coffee chats and asked to apply to BEL with Bain by a recruiter today. I have a 3.3 at an okay school (like NYU, UNC, Notre Dame) so is my assumption that P(I get an interview)=~0 likely correct?

Your GPA is on the lower scale for most Bain folk. That being said, is that really going to stop you from applying? Make sure to highlight your extra curricular leadership positions and other work experience, if you have the latter.
The way I understand it there is little downside to applying. I would go ahead and try.
I came from a historically non-target school and did BEL a few years ago. It can't hurt to apply.
