For example, if I want to apply to Bain London, Brussel, and Amsterdam. Can I send the application at the same time? Or if I went through the application process of Bain London at got rejected, can I immediately apply for another office?

Hi Jasmin,
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:
In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your upcoming consulting applications and interviews, please feel free to contact me directly.
I hope this helps,

Hi Jasmin,
Yes you can (and have to) submit those preferences all at once in the same application. You only get one application per “round” (i.e. year/year and a half) so select those 3 offices when you apply!
Make sure to network and try to get a referral before applying in order to maximize your odds.
Good luck!

You can usually express 3 preferences during the same application process, expressing a priority. If you are rejected from one office, you will be automatically considered for the following preference until all the offices have evaluated you.
Hope this helps,

On the Bain application, they ask you for your office preferences, and you can chose up to three offices, in order of preference. So you cannot apply individually to those 3 offices, but you can apply to those 3 offices in a single application.
