Imo no reason to wait until halfway through to do live mocks. No idea what crafting cases is, rocket blocks is decent, but nothing compares to actual live cases. If you have people (more at peer level and not at Bain) you can start practicing with live tomorrow that’s ever I would do. There’s not much like actually doing live mocks

I take this with a grain of salt.

It depends A LOT on how good your mock interviewer is at giving feedback and expliciting the weaknesses. Also, it might be hugely inefficient to do a complete case.

I feel like mock interviews with peers who are also applying are usually much less productive than you realize when you're doing it. Interviewees don't know as much as they think they do to give feedback.

Crafting Cases drills are great for that, but anyway it depends on what works for each one, I guess.

like

1. Days 1-3: Learn the fundamentals using crafting cases
2. Day 4: use Rocketblocks to practice drills
3. Days 5 - 8: 3 Live cases with Bain consultants / managers with drills in between
4. Day 9: More drills
5. Day 10: Rest before interview

6. Start a month earlier.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. 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.

If there is anyone willing to take a look at my resume and give me feedback on gaps they see in my experience that would be leading to this i’d appreciate it! If in fact I’m not the right fit now I would really appreciate knowing what to work on to make myself a stronger candidate in the future!
