its an externship for rising juniors. i think they only recruit at a few schools. i know of MIT and Penn but not sure of others, im guessing harving, princeton, columbia etc

 

It's known as the Building Entrepreneurial Leaders program and targets underrepresented minorities for strategy consulting recruitment. It's usually a week long (6 day event) and has been at an international client location in the past (usually domestic, however). Extremely selective program based on GPA and leadership activities at select schools only (Penn, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, MIT etc.) - not all Bain target schools are included.

 

Hey all sorry for bumping a thread from a while ago but I am interviewing for this program in a couple of weeks. It is a phone interview and I wanted to know if I should expect any cases during the phone screen.

It'll most likely be a very in depth estimation question. They may also ask you how you would think about a certain problem (like the opening of a case), but it's unlikely you'll see a full case. I did the program last year.

 

Est optio ut et. Libero officiis quaerat rerum. Fuga ea ut eum quod ad corrupti.

Et enim id aut qui tenetur nihil reprehenderit autem. Aut non dolorum sed quasi.
