Not sure how long you’ve been out of undergrad, but I’ve been out now 3 years but I know my university has resource called “Big Interview” that lets you practice virtual interviews. All I needed was my university email to access it. Would suggest doing that if you can

Change your mindset about how you’ll perform. If you go in thinking you don’t do well virtually, you won’t do well. Focus on what you do well virtually or pick 1-2 things to do better virtually than you have before.

Beyond that, prep for case and PEI as normal.

Good luck!

I gave virtual interview with McKinsey. Here are few tips:
1. Dress well
2. Organize blank sheets, pens in advance (this tremendously helped me keep my calm during interviews)
3. Smile and make sure you speak slowly (keep visual cues to remind yourself to do that during the interviews)
4. Maintain eye contact with the interviewer

All the best :)
