3.0 out of 5 stars Not for non-MBAs, September 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Vault Guide to the Case Interview, 5th Edition (Paperback)

I'm not an MBA and found it confusing and overwhelming. They assume a certain level of knowledge and only offer cookie-cutter frameworks. I found the book Case in Point to be much clearer and more informative. It's Ivy Case Method makes thinking and structuring the cases much easier.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak Cases, May 29, 2005

By	Yuval Shafir (Israel) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Vault Guide to the Case Interview, 5th Edition (Paperback)

Hi,
I have used this book among others to get accepted to McKinsey (and with success) and I think this book gave me less then others.
The advantages are the more or less detailed frameworks chapter and the real-life interviews chapter, but the cases themselves are rather superficial and sometimes even obviously ridiculous(like for example the case in which a Star-Trek like omnipotent people transporter has been invented, and the book claims that it wouldn't replace cars because it costs 100,000$. Come on, they would buy one for every block).
I think there are much better resources than this.

Good luck with your interviews!

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't do without it, August 21, 2002

By	Neil (USA) - See all my reviews

I had a series with slightly less-than brilliant interviews with a couple of US consulting firms after completing my (part-time) MBA last year here (I am a liberal arts undergrad major form an European school). One of the intervievers referred me to the Vault site and this book particularly to help me correct my alleged "firehose" approach to business cases for... my next interviews. To my amazement, it worked. I gladly recommend it to anyone interested in getting into consulting.
