Bain BEL Interview
Hi! I'm interviewing soon for the Bain BEL program and was wondering what I should expect for the case if it is about 10-15 mins long. Can you provide a few examples? I just know this is shorter than usual, so I was wondering how they would adjust a case for this.
.
Hi :)! Thank you for your answer! I was wondering if the mini-case was also quantitative, or if it was just size a market and then do a qualitative mini-case.
Hey unfortunately don't know that. It's likely not standardized at all though. Case interviewers can take creative liberties so your mileage may vary
I interviewed as well! Do you know when we'll hear back by? Ik they said mid-May but that seems so far in the future lol
hey! Sorry I just saw this! I don't know--it seemed that May 8 was the average last year, but idk if that's changed to truly be mid-May. Keep me updated though if you do hear back! :)
I know, i wish they gave a more precise date! but i'll lyk if i hear anything, and same goes to you! thanks!
I'd love to hear if you guys hear back as well. It's a national program so it makes sense why it takes a while to hear back but still wish the turnaround wasn't so long.
Prepare for a market sizing exercise
Has anyone heard back from BEL yet. They said mid May but I haven’t heard back
Haven't heard back yet either
some interviews were later than usual so they might take a bit longer than in past years
I haven't heard back yet either but that makes sense if interview dates were variable by office. I'm guessing we will hear back by the end of this week but let me know if any of you hear back on anything else.
Anybody been notified yet?
Hey! I still haven't. Has anyone else? I don't blame them though. With COVID-19, I'm sure they have a lot to worry about.
has anyone heard back?
nope
Has anyone tried reaching out to their recruiter?
Not yet but I'm thinking of reaching out if I don't hear back by the end of the week
Anyone hear back today?
Nope, none of the kids I know have heard back yet.
Same, how competitive is this anyway? The partners that interviewed me openly congratulated me but I know that there are like 15 spots in the office I applied to. I go to an ivy league and I know at least 10 kids from my school that got interviewed as well. Any thoughts?
Given that it’s a sophomore program with less seats than ACI, I feel like it’s pretty competitive especially at their bigger offices (e.g. NYC, Boston, SF).
Well, hopefully well get it!
Chances they move it online and give guaranteed return offers for next summer?
None... The return offers for ACIs are based on the case interviews at the end of the week (from my experience, they give ACI offers to about half of the BEL interns). It would make no sense at all to give return offers for next summer when basically all you did was a first round interview.
The ACs I know from the NYC office told me this is a avery important event and it is 100% happening. My friends that did BEL last year told me not everyone gets a returning offer after the interview. I agree with the person commenting above but it is never bad to have hope LMAO!
I have not heard back from my recruiter. Perhaps they will reach out today since it is a Friday?
I don’t think so. It’s 4pm EST already
Okay, I guess we will just have to wait.
Did anybody email their recruiters?
I have, but I haven't heard back yet
when did you?
I emailed them on 5/28 and did not get a response.
Being multiple weeks late on this is not a good look
ya but who are we to judge? I guess. Maybe they might take more externs!
Has anyone heard back?
Nope
Heard back via telephone call this morning.
congrats!
Congrats. Guessing if we haven’t heard back by this afternoon, it’s a reject.
Good luck man
just heard back as well! good luck to everyone!
Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, what office did you hear back from?
Thanks! I got the call from NY but that isn't what I had put as my first choice; I believe it may be the New York office calling everyone back
Has anyone heard from the NY, LA, or SF offices?
my call was from ny but I'm not sure if each office is calling candidates back or whether it's just one office calling everyone back
My recruiter said we'd all hear back by the end of the week. Congrats to those who have heard back! Out of curiosity, was the call from your interviewer?
my call was from the recruiter!
just heard back for Boston
Congrats to those who got the offer. Just got a rejection email from my recruiter.

Just heard back from my recruiter in the LA office.
Did anybody get a first round interview in the fall instead?
They probably didn’t have enough space at the office you applied at but liked your candidacy enough to offer you an interview instead of nothing so not the norm
Did you?
Yes. Wondering if this is the norm
what office? The objetive of BEL is to attract students and then offer them interviews. My friends from prev years have not heard of anyone getting interviews but not to the program. BSing? maybe
