Rejected after decision round with BCG for summer 2023 internship. Received feedback interviewers enjoyed talking with me, I structured case well, performed math well, but didn’t drive the case on my own enough. Was encouraged to reapply for full time role next year. How do I put myself in a position to do better 10 months from now?

Driving the case means that as soon as you come to an answer you jump into both the implications of that answer and what you think the next step might be.

Don't jump into actually executing the next step just state your assumptions and then ask the interviewer if you're on the right path/what they think.

You got this
