I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Sep 2013
Interview
Applied through school recruitment with a simple resume and cover letter drop. There were many "networking" and informational events leading up to the resume drop. Overall it seems like you need above at least a 3.5 GPA and over 1500 SAT to get an interview, otherwise you're out of luck.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical case interview questions plus minimal fit questions at the beginning and end of the interview. 2 30 minute case interviews for the first round. And then 2 45 minute case interviews for the second round.
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.
2nd long case with a deck to read and prepare answers..45 mins to read, 15 mins to answer
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
