I would like to hear more on this as well. I'm using the cases on the BCG site to practice but don't know if real undergrad level cases are like them or not.

BCG1 - do you know how much simpler the associate cases are than the consultant cases at BCG? I’m hoping that all the cases I’m looking at online are meant for post MBA and that the cases I’m actually going to see are going to be much more straight forward.

What role/practice within BCG are you interviewing for, OP?

If you don't mind me asking OP, which office?

DC - what about you PwC1?

PwC1 we could practice cases together over the phone if you wanted

NY office; that's a great idea unfortunately I'm currently in CA for a client and most likely won't be able to sync up with you during the week. My interview is this Friday so I'll update you on how it went.

Good luck - mines next Friday so that would be really helpful if you could let me know how it goes

My God, my grammar has been terrible in this thread....I'll be sure to update you.

PwC1 - how was the interview?

Very difficult, study up the core frameworks more + your math and most importantly, get a good night's rest. I don't think I passed and I'm waiting for the verdict to drop.

Was it a profit framework and a business situation framework?

Growth and cost reduction cases for me.

Were they more difficult than the 2 practice cases in the pamphlet they gave us?

Pamphlet? They are harder than the cases on the website; honestly, I was caught off guard by therm because I was not expecting that level of difficulty for an Associate position.

I hadn't studied the cost reduction too much so I had a fair bit of trouble on it and had to take some help.

They sent me a booklet that had 2 cases in it that were different than the website but they were similar difficulty
