Hi All,Next week I will have my first ever case interview with Bain (I have a few others lined up in the near future). I have been obviously studying how to answer case studies effectively, but I really wont have an idea of how Ill react untill I have experienced one.I am coming from a non business background and would thus like to ask the forum1) What can I expect in terms of case interview format?2) When drawing diagrams etc in case interview, should I be pedantic about detail?3) Does anyone have an idea if I will be asked about entry to new market, M&A etc or can I expect to be asked on everything that the case interview books preach?4) Should I memorize specific frameworks, or roughly know them so I can emphasize my own logic in the answer? (In this case I would be afraid of missing out on something 'obvious' that business students will reel off in seconds)5) How early should I show up?Thanks in advance to the forum for any tips, help or answers to my questions.

Hi there - I am interviewing with Bain on the 11th. If you'd like to practice case studies in London, please drop me a line at caseinterviews@googlemail.comThanks

Hi, I'm in a similar position - first round interview with Bain on Wednesday and need to practice some case studies. Anyone know any good websites to look at, or want to practice any, drop me a mail (jd4383@bris.aC.uk). By the way im non-oxbridge, History, on for a high 2:1 or first, did UBS internship in the summer.

hi.. can you guys share with us your experience during the interview. thanks

My day has been made by one of my students having emailed to say they&apos;ve been hired by Bain and made it through the case study interviews as a result of having been on my monthly <a href=http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/events/Article_display.asp?ID=140>case study interview workshop</a>. Thanks for sharing this with me Gael!! For anyone else struggling with case study interview preparation, do consider signing up for the next such conference call on 6th April:<a href=http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/events/Article_display.asp?ID=140>http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/events/Article_display.asp?ID=140</a>Here&apos;s what Gael had to say:"Following your presentation on how to ace the study case last year, I wanted to thank you for your precious advice in my interview preparation. (I received an offer from) Bain & Company where I successfully passed the 3 rounds of interviews/ 6 cases.This, I must say, would not have been possible without participating in your training. I would recommend your class to anyone who is seeking a consulting position to significantly enhance and optimize their preparation."Bit of a shameless plug I know - but it&apos;s made my day to receive this email... and would doubtless make many of your days to sail through the case study interviews like Gael has!:-)Hope to see you on a future call.Tony RestellTop-Consultant.com

Do you have any case study sessions before the April 6th one?

Afraid not anon - they&apos;re just once a month.

Could you detail what is covered in these case study conference calls please Tony - would like to assess if and when I should take part in one of these calls? Thanks Dave

Dave - the agenda for these calls covers the following points, with calls lasting lasting a little over 1h30:o The format of interviews in the consulting industryo The interviewer’s point of view – what are they trying to establish?o The two main types of case study questions. A review of each type and then an interactive worked example of each type:--- The market-sizing / "Mission impossible" type questions--- The Condensed Project Assignment type questionso Strategies for Success in case study interviewso Dealing with group case study situations and final round interviews where you may have to present your case study findingsSo pretty comprehensive and the key thing I think is that it raises readers&apos; confidence about dealing with case study interviews - at least that&apos;s been the main message from all the success stories I&apos;ve been getting back over the last months. For further details see:<a href=http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/events/Article_display.asp?ID=140>http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/events/Article_display.asp?ID=140</a>Best of luck. Tony

good luck with that interview. I have sent you an email, in case you want to practice some case studies before the big day. Kind Regards

Can you please share your interview experience with Bain. What case question you got and other behavioral questions. Thanks
