Case Interview Books

Tap into our library of case interview books from top business schools such as Harvard Business School, Kellogg, Wharton, and Duke. These books provide a wealth of cases to practice with, offering insights into the types of questions you might encounter during interviews. Use these resources to practice structuring your responses, applying frameworks, and delivering polished answers under time constraints.

Application Deadlines

Please keep an eye on Management Consulted for the most up-to-date list of national application deadlines. Generally, MBB firms have deadlines in September for MBA full-time positions and November for MBA internships. Big 4 and boutique firms typically have later deadlines. Firms often create Carlson-specific application pages, so avoid applying through generic links. We understand the process can be confusing, so feel free to contact any consulting board member if you have questions.
