To participate, you must be admitted to one of the MBA programs on our eligible schools list. During registration, you’ll be asked which program you are most likely to attend. If you’ve been accepted to multiple programs, please select the one you expect to choose. You may update your profile once your final decision is confirmed.

ExperienceBain is a virtual program designed to fit around your existing commitments, making it easy to participate over the summer. There may be select, invite-only opportunities to meet Bain representatives in person, but travel is not required. 

ExperienceBain runs from June through early August. Events typically last 60 minutes, with one to two sessions per week. Participation is flexible and fully opt-in, so you can attend sessions that best match your interests and schedule. Live events are recorded and shared through a regular ExperienceBain newsletter, so you can watch them throughout the summer.

The ExperienceBain registration form will ask you to indicate your top three office preferences. As a starting point, consider where you may want to live after your MBA. Throughout the program, you’ll learn more about what makes each office unique, including the work we do, the people and the location, so you can develop a clearer sense of where you may want to recruit. If your interests evolve, you can update your preferences during the recruiting process.

Yes. If you’re eligible and interested, we encourage you to apply to both programs. 

Both BASE and ExperienceBain introduce pre-MBA students to consulting at Bain before business school begins. They differ in focus and format. 

Building and Supporting Excellence, or BASE, is a selective, weeklong, in-person program for candidates interested in pursuing consulting opportunities with our U.S. offices and engaging with members of our Black at Bain (BAB) and/or Familia at Bain (FAM) affinity groups. 

ExperienceBain is a larger, virtual program open to incoming MBA students admitted to an eligible school and interested in exploring opportunities across Bain’s global offices. It features flexible programming throughout the summer. 

If you are selected for BASE, we will help you navigate any overlap with ExperienceBain.
