Topic Name: ACI vs. AC interview process
Message Name: a bit harder

In Reply To: My main question is, I know the ACI process is two rounds of interviews - what happens in the AC process? (Same number of rounds/cases per round?) Also, on a side note, if one received an interview for the ACI position, and did well on the first round cases, but did not get passed to the second round, is it safe to say this person would probably get an interview come AC time (at the same office), given that they showed no drop (and maybe a slight improvement) on the resume side of things between the two interview periods?
Message: Interview rounds are similar but more difficult/complex for AC. Same story when comparing AC vs. MBA interviews. Generally it's a very good sign that you got an ACi interview and they generally encourage people in your situation to reapply. However, whether you get an interview next year will depend to some extent on what you did this summer, the "why bain?" section of your cover letter, etc. With the volume of resumes Bain gets, it's never "safe" to say that one will get an interview.
