Case Analysis: Math, Moves, and Shortcuts
Doing the math right is just table stakes; telling me what the math means is how you win the offer. We'll walk through how to clear a slide and develop the quantitative engine to drive the case forward. You will learn how to perform calculations under pressure, break down common charts, and crucially, how to pivot immediately from the answer to the "So What?"—the strategic insight that enables you to crack the case.
Case Interview Overview: The Full Structure
Before we dive into the data, you need to understand the rhythm of the 40-minute conversation that is the Case Interview. This module outlines the "ideal" flow of a Bain case as an introduction to the anatomy of a case before deep diving into each component individually.
MBA to Consulting Panel
Still planning to break into consulting before graduation? You're not alone, and it's not too late. This panel is designed for MBA students who are exploring full-time roles in consulting, whether you’re re-recruiting, pivoting, or looking to refine your strategy. Hear from Taylor R., Andrew H., and Rifat M., all of whom successfully landed consulting offers later in the MBA journey as they share practical advice on networking, storytelling, case prep, and how to stand out in a competitive recruiting cycle. If you're hoping to make the jump into MBB or other top firms, this session will help you make the most of the months ahead.

(former McKinsey Engagement Manager) will share insider insights from both sides of the interview table.
