Inside the Case Interview: What Interviewers Grade You On [9/28/2026] (Recording)

Knowing how to solve a case is only part of what interviewers evaluate during a consulting interview. This panel is designed for candidates preparing for case interviews who want to understand how their performance is assessed beyond simply reaching the right answer. You’ll hear experts discuss the skills interviewers look for, how they evaluate your structure, communication, quantitative reasoning, and business judgment, and the common mistakes that can hurt an otherwise strong case. Attending live gives you the opportunity to hear multiple perspectives from consultants and interviewers who have seen candidates perform in real case interviews and ask questions about your own preparation. Our panelists will share practical advice on what strong performance looks like, where candidates often lose points, and how to prepare with the evaluation criteria in mind. If you want a clearer picture of what interviewers are actually grading you on, it’s worth joining live.
