Undergrad vs MBA Case Interview

Alot of case interview prep sites and books seems to tailor more towards MBA case interviews. For those coming out out of college, how should case interviews and interview prep be different (if at all)?

Prepping like an MBA will never hurt, from my experience. You want to be as prepared as possible, don't you? Obviously, they might cut you some slack on some business-related concepts (depending on your background) but why would you count on that? I had some pretty detailed, specialized, and complicated cases and I didn't do business as an undergrad.

Thanks, Peter. That was my assumption as well. I assume if you prepare like an MBA case, you'll be more than prepared for undergrad one.
