First case interview - help???

Hi!

I have a case interview tomorrow that I literally found out about 2 hrs ago. Its for a freshman leadership tomorrow.

The two cases given as examples were 1) an M&A / HR case and 2) an insurance case.

Any tips? Suggestions?

What do I do if its a case I'm really not familiar with, like something to do with insurance

Thanks!

Nothing much to do at this point, just know some basic frameworks like Porter's Five Forces, 5 C's and 4 P's, how to increase sales, growth strategies, etc. By the way don't tell them you're using those frameworks in the interview, just work them in. Relax, having an open mind is key to helping you think of creative solutions in case interviews. Good luck, may God be with you.
