I will be starting my MBA program in August 2021, and I want to recruit for MBB, which begins recruiting at my university in January 2022. I've never done a case before, and I'm starting from 0 in all aspects of consulting recruiting. I was looking for any recommendations on what I can start doing from now, to make me a stronger applicant next year - both in regard to case interviews and fit/behavioral interviews. Should I just pick up case and point and start practicing cases or is there a certain type of reading i.e. Economist/WSJ/non-fiction books that I should make a habit of regularly reading?
Looking for any guidance on a plan I can follow to give me the best shot at landing an offer at MBB next year. I'm even open to paying for a service/mentor that can guide me, if this is recommended.
