In addition to practicing cases, make sure to prepare stories showcasing key competencies (e.g., initiative, drive, communication) to concisely answer any fit questions. You typically get 15 minutes for the fit, so having your stories ready will help you sell yourself to the best extent possible.

Agree with OW1–I’d also advise having more than one example ready for each trait you’re trying to showcase (when the interviewers talk later, its better to have multiple examples rather than repetition)

Good Luck!

Make sure to get your math right. Also, think beyond the numbers. Always thinking about what they mean for that business and that industry. Synthesize as you go (I passed a first round recently)
