I found that jotting out answers to sample questions helped me stay organized and on track the day of the interview. I tend to ramble, so it's nice to have an outline in mind.

Be yourself. The questions being asked are pre-generated and the response received by the interviewer isn’t always a spoken answer, it’s how your answer and its interpreted by the interviewer so it’s subjective. I wish I could provide a better answer, but they are looking at your appearance, body movements, surroundings, the tone in your voice, how long you take to answer, stumbling in your response, not enough thought by answering instantly without considering the question. The questions you will be asked are less about your answer, but more about how you present yourself while answering.

It is business in the GPS unit.

EY 2, thank you! I really appreciate your response. Do you have any tips for the case study?

For the behavioral questions, listen to the question and ask for clarification if you need to. Then relate the answer to your personal experience. Not too much focus on what the team did, but more on what you did and how that helped the overall team. Overall, be honest. It does really show when you’re not.

For the case study, R..E..L..A..X. The case changes all the time but the constant is that you need to be able to understand what the problem is and a logical way to approach solving the issue. There is no right or wrong answer but it is about understanding how you think and process complex issues. Also, it’s okay to ask questions to eliminate assumptions or to set the baseline for assumptions that you will make to support your approach. Bottom line is that a company has a problem, what is the problem and how would you help solve it?

I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
