What's the likelihood of passing R1 at bain given the following :
The above is a self assessment/reflection. How would the 3 interviews be weighed when making the decision? Would they carry equal importance?
It depends on so many factors.
Could you have passed? Yup
Did you not pass? Also possible (generally, this is more likely all things equal)
Generally you need to do well across the interview and have a strong overall profile. I'd argue case + fit have a stronger weighting than Market Sizing, but it's all hollistic.
Regardless, your actions are the same moving forward:

Dos and Don'ts in a Case Interview
Hi there,
All three interviews need to be scored well, and, as far as I know, they are equally weighted. That is also the reason for this new format (including the blank resume approach in this round) and split between cases and fit into distinct interviews so that more interviewers can see distinct elements and not one interviewer everything.
Given your description, it could all come down to the different areas of the case you needed support:
Fingers crossed for a positive outcome!

Hi there!
You had these as 3 separate interviews or merged into one interview?
Overall, assuming the market sizing and fit went really well, they would give you another chance to see if you improve with the case in the following round.
Don't be discouraged if the case doesn't go according to expectations. They rarely do. All candidates make mistakes. Interviewers don't expect a flawless performance.
Make sure that when they reach out with feedback, you actually ask questions to understand in detail what they believe you should improve.
Hope you get good news!
Best,
Cristian
They are decent, unless you had the same issues on all 3 interviews. Consistent low performance on the same one dimension rules you out of the recruiting process.
