Most 2nd-year MBA candidates have 2 to 4 weeks to get case interview-ready this cycle, not the usual 6 to 8.

More cases won't close that gap for McKinsey, Bain, and BCG.

Former Bain interviewer and LBS MBA Mitali Jalan compressed her prep into under 4 weeks and landed her offer. This session is her plan for doing it on a short runway.

The fix isn't more volume. It's knowing what to drill, and when. Listen for:

• Mitali's 4-step sequence for compressing 6 to 8 weeks of prep into 2 to 4
• Why 30 cases with a partner can still hide the mistake that costs an offer
• Business acumen: the one skill interviewers spot instantly, and most candidates never build

Resources:

• Black Belt pairs you with a coach who catches what a case partner can't – 80% land at least one offer
