BA

irst, I only applied to BCG because I had worked with them a couple of times and of all the ex-MBB people I know and asked for help, all 5 (ex-)BCGers gave me prep cases but no-one else; most simply ignored my email. So from a fit perspective, it was a slam dunk as far as I'm concerned.

I started preparing with a couple of case interviews with current consultants, then worked on mental math questions and read Case In Point.

Something always felt off to me though, it was never clear how I could really get better consistently: on a specific scenario that exactly fit one of the 12 frameworks I could have nailed it I guess, but it didn't feel very repeatable to me.

I did a few more cases with these 5 current and ex-BCG, but again I didn't see real progress in spite of probably a couple dozen hours of work.

I eventually applied, but only got my invitation [the month before] 1st round interviews. That left me a month to finish my preparation, so I looked on the web for case prep and found your site.
