Step #1: Change your mindset to the belief that you deserve the interview.
I needed to hear that. I’m still in disbelief. Not bad for a first gen kid. Now time to secure.
Know that you need to spend 50+ hours going into this.
YouTube Victor Cheng case interview. Watch all 12 and then 1) start practicing cases 2) start practicing market sizing questions

Also not a fan of VC
What's your current case level? How many h/day you have available to practice?
Don’t over do it! If you have solid maths skills, understand the overall mechanics of a case and have done a few it’s completely doable. I would put most of my time in thinking through the personal fit questions. Think about what you want your interviewers to know about you, what are your strengths and your preferred methods to get stuff done. And for the cases: listen! It’s a conversation with interviewersY treat it as such :)
To EY 1's point, get it in your head that it's just a company, like many other companies. They're not special (unless you count the number of monthly articles about them fucking up government gigs, syphoning taxpayer money like a Dyson plugged to a nuclear reactor, or instances of garden variety corruption; none of this is to sling mud at them just because I'm in different consultancy, I'm equally critical of all of them). They're humans who employ other humans, and, more importantly, should you get the job or get rejected, don't read more into either outcome than you should. In the overall scheme of things, it's just another job in just another company. You won't be saving lives or delivering revolutionary solutions for the mankind. It's just consulting. I'm not saying don't be excited, just don't make it be some kind of life-changing event. It isn't.
Needed to hear this.
Victor Cheng for introduction only if you're a complete beginner. Then "crafting cases" free course and live practice. Your school consulting club (if it exists), otherwise preplounge or wall Street oasis for finding partners to practice with. Good luck, you've got this!
What role at PwC?

Congrats! Victor cheng is great. Used him when I got offers at McKinsey/BCG. I do coaching/assessment for McKinsey as a contractor (https://www.metanoiacoaching.com). You can also check casecoaching.com. I used to be a coach on there.
As someone who passed the first round interview but failed to get an offer: focus on the PEIs and their missions & values + make sure your casing is top notch (dig deep) and i would go on LinkedIn and reach out to those who just accepted an offer from McKinsey and ask them to do practice cases with you
