That answer doesn't seem to fly when you actually look at the numbers - I heard Bain only hires 5 - 10 max from any particular school to Boston, NYC offices. That makes sense, considering that are 60 new hires for the Northeast and they are hiring from Harvard, MIT, Dartmouth, Brown, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, Amherst, Williams, and UVA, then being "good" probbly won't cut it. |

As discussed below, it is extremely hard to get a job at Bain (or any consulting firm for that matter). Even if you have a 4.0 from Stanford, 1600 SAT, and are student body president, you still might not get the job. Apply to the city you want to live in and go from there. Applying to an office that you think might be "easier" might increase your chances by a marginal amount (think 5% instead of 3%). If you are good and Bain likes you, the office won't matter much. Just my thoughts after reading hundreds of resumes and interviewing many ACs...
