Hey,
I'll get straight to it - I'm currently in my third year of university and was recruited by BCG, got an interview, but completely underestimated how long it would take to prepare for the case portion of the interview. I got some casebooks from a few universities and just tried to hammer them out with someone for 3-4 weeks... Didn't really get a ton of feedback or learn formal structures/approaches/tips etc... So when it came around I completely bombed one of them and did alright on another... Kind of expected.
I want to re-recruit for full-time while completing my internship (private equity, not consulting). I'm pretty sure I could get another opportunity with BCG, I just need to be in game-shape by August/September which leaves me around 4-5 months to prepare.
I'm really motivated and want a consulting role, what is the best way to approach this? Should I hire a coach? I'm definitely not going to do what I did last time... Would love to hear any tips/feedback/planning prep help!
