Hi fellow fishes!
I finished my last rounds with Bain & Co a few weeks ago but still haven’t heard back from them. After follow up the recruiter said that “an interviewer will reach out soon to communicate the outcome.”
Can anyone please tell me how long does it usually take to hear back?
Also, should I be optimistic given the partner is taking time out of his busy schedule to communicate the outcome? 😅

I need help making up my mind on where to attend.

So I have two offers on the table : Tuck vs Yale SOM. I am getting 40k scholarship from Tuck and nothing from Yale.

I'm planning on going into consulting afterwards and am not sure what school to attend. I know Tuck's group oriented teaching is slightly more geared towards consulting.

What has been making me hesitate is the global presence of what Yale has in its name.

Would you say Yale has almost equal chance of getting into MBB as Tuck?
