What are the best case resources if I have exactly a week before my interview at McKinsey. The interview is interviewer led and I've been focusing on structuring, quant, and brainstorming. Skimmed through case in point. Read Victor Cheng's book. Did some cases with peers. Still feel like I struggle a bit with being mece in my structure. Any tips? I'm getting nervous at this stage 😭😭😭. My approach for the interview is trying to be as structured and logical as possible.

Is this for a generalist role? If so, definitely postpone. I ended up postponing my first rounds by 2 weeks and my second rounds by an additional week because of the short notice

Wow only 1 week? How did that happen?

Yeah I had like 6 weeks and then 3 more until round 2. I needed all that time

Ask to postpone it

Something along the lines of “is it possible to postpone to x date? I’d like to be able to put my best foot forward and I feel this time will allow me to do that”
