I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bain & Company (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016

My final round interview was in the office with a senior associate consultant, a manager, and a partner. They were each ~45 minutes in length, with ~30 minutes used for the cases.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A rail company is considering opening a new passenger car route between Las Vegas and San Fransisco. What should they think about, and what would you recommend?
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
