They should buy Case in Point and take advantage of the case prep services on campus. If that doesn’t get them over the bar, it’s not meant to be and it’s for the best.
Case in Point is outdated. The best resource out there is Crafting Cases, which is a set of free videos


Great grades at schools that are semi-targets and up are the floor. And have them connect with recent alums who can help with the recruiting process and casing.


And just like IB being a recruited athlete is a huge boost…..sigh

It seems like it’s a little pocket industry? Reading about a lot of these “consultants”

This gives some insight into ethical issues with these firms, they hire people lacking ethics to comply with their practices. Probably more contentious ones are cut into early rounds.


No. Unless your parent is a CEO of a Fortune 50 company and a large client or likely to become one, you are not waltzing into a job at one of the top three firms. Even the CEO kids have to do passably well on the cases.

These firms have ethical issues but it’s more due to partners having god complex, and a total lack of internal governance.
