Bain & Company Is there a cool down at Bain even if you don’t make it past the resume screen? Applied a couple months ago on a whim (and a referral from a friend) having no experience with anything business/consulting related as a lateral (only had experience in research prior). Since then have had 2 months at a t2 firm plus some biz dev for a startup. I’m aiming to reapply at 6 months. For context graduated from a t10 school and thought I wanted to go to med school for a little bit lol. Bain & Company

Don’t think there is a cooldown if you were never invited for a round 1

There isn't. Same thing happened to me. I reapplied a few months later, got the interview, and got the job.

Just to clarify, by cool down do you mean them calling you individually to let you down?

Can’t tell if this is a joke haha - I didn’t pass the resume screen so didn’t receive anything other than an email. Cool down refers to the fact that they won’t look at my resume for a certain time period post not getting an offer.
