Target school MBA grad preparing for EY-Parthenon

Interview format (mentioned in the interview invite)
2 cases (directors)
1 behavioral (partner)

What cases to expect? I've read mostly market sizing, m&a

For behavioral, anything specific?

Aim higher than EYP. Also, all consulting will be mixed under the NewCo which will likely be called Parthenon.

Been through process. One curveball behavioral they throw out to be prepared for is ‘Tell me about a time you were brave?’ - not an easy top of mind one to pull so prepare a compelling answer.

Well, a New York state wildlife expert, Richard Thomas, decided to answer that question some years back. He found that, while a woodchuck doesn't actually chuck wood, they do in fact chuck quite a bit of dirt when digging out a burrow. On a good day they can chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt (or about 700 pounds).
