Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on passing through both rounds at Bain!

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

• Generally speaking, there are a lot of a reasons why you still have not heard back from Bain ME, and all of them are not necessarily related to you. The most common reason is that the partners that interviewed you simply did not yet have time to hold the committee. Either way, in case you have not heard back from Bain ME within a week, I would very politely ask the recruiter when you can expect an answer.
• Even if consulting companies focus a lot on diversity across different dimensions in their recruiting efforts, there is no fixed number of candidates to recruit from any specific unversity. Thus, I would not worry too much if you have heard of a lot of colleagues from university getting into Bain ME.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming career entry, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hi there,

This is not a no by any means! It's not atypical for them to take multiple days (even weeks) to get back to you.

Be patient, prepare for the worst of course (i.e. focus on your other interviews), but also don't assume the worst just yet!

Hi!

It doesn't mean it's a no!

Good luck,

Anto
