Mbb recruiter told me to brush up on my case interview and apply again later this year when I asked if MBA is the way to bridge gap for my interview rejection. Is this optimistic or just a nice “no”?

It sounds like a polite no. However, back to your original question, if you get into a strong MBA program, we’d absolutely look at you again

Nope. I got turned down last year and was invited to interview again and even pointed towards a different service offering.

It could be a “no.” Kinda depends if you were an applicant who had a bad interview day or suck

Even with an MBA you'd still need to do well on the cases, so take that advice at face value.

Haven’t taken it yet. I guess prep for mba and cases, take the shot with the recruiter later, right? So to rephrase, I asked if I should go mba route, they said, nah just get comfortable with cases.
