What you get
Six pieces. One offer.
Every part of the program is the part most candidates skip. Together they cover the full surface area of an MBB final round.
- 01
Mock Interviews
Live, 1-on-1 cases delivered the way McKinsey, BCG, and Bain actually run them. Every session ends with a written debrief.
- 60-min interviewer-led or candidate-led
- Full graded rubric (structure, math, synthesis)
- Recording + timestamped feedback
- 02
Case Feedback Reports
Send a recording of any practice case. Get back a written breakdown that pinpoints the exact moments your structure or math fell apart.
- 48-hour turnaround
- Line-by-line transcript notes
- Drills assigned for each gap
- 03
Charts & Mental Math
The unglamorous skill that decides most cases. Daily timed drills built from actual MBB exhibits.
- 300+ chart-reading prompts
- Mental math gym (under 7 seconds)
- Weekly leaderboard with peers
- 04
PEI & Personal Story
Stop reciting your resume. Build a clean Distinctive Impact, Leadership, and Entrepreneurial Drive story for every behavioral round.
- Story bank workshop
- STAR-to-DILD rewrites
- Mock PEI rounds with rubric
- 05
Framework Library
A working library of the frameworks I actually used in 40+ cases. Profitability, market entry, M&A, ops, pricing, and more.
- Editable Notion playbook
- Worked examples per industry
- Updated quarterly
- 06
Office Hours
Drop in twice a week. Bring a question, a chart, a story, or a recruiter email — leave with an answer.
- Tuesdays & Thursdays, live
- Recordings posted same day
- Async question queue
The process
Three phases.
No filler.
Every candidate runs the same three phases. The only thing that varies is how long you stay in each one.
- Phase 01Diagnostic
A graded full case + math + PEI assessment in week one. You get a written gap report — no fluff, no participation trophies.
Week 1 - Phase 02Drills
Charts, math, story bank, and structure reps. Designed to move the metrics from your diagnostic, in order, until they're green.
Weeks 2–6 - Phase 03Live Mocks
Two live cases per week with full debriefs. We taper as you sharpen — and stop when you're consistently passing tier-1 mocks.
Weeks 6–12
About Arav
The coach I wish I'd had
before my first case.
I bombed my first practice case. Out loud, in front of two friends, in a study room I had to book twice because we ran over. I had read the casebooks. I had memorized the frameworks. None of it survived contact with a real prompt.
Over the next eleven months I did 94 cases — most of them badly. I tracked every miss in a spreadsheet. I kept a list of the exact phrases that made interviewers nod, and the ones that lost the room. By round two of recruiting, I was getting callbacks from every firm I applied to.
I built CaseFrame because the prep market is broken. There are $4,000 courses that teach the same thing the free Casebook does. There are coaches three years out of the firm who still cite frameworks from 2018. What you actually need is a recent operator who will tell you the truth about your structure, your math, and your story — and then show you exactly how to fix all three.
That's what I do here.
Results
What candidates say
after they sign.
Selected from 38 candidates placed across MBB and tier-2 firms, Fall 2024 – Winter 2026.
“I went from bombing my first practice case to landing a Bain offer in eleven weeks. Arav's feedback is brutally specific, which is exactly what you need.”
Priya M.Bain & Company, Class of 2026 · Wharton“The mental math drills alone were worth it. I stopped freezing on chart questions and started enjoying them.”
Marcus T.BCG Summer Associate · Kellogg“Best decision of my recruiting cycle. The PEI sessions completely changed how I tell my story — I sound like a consultant now, not a candidate.”
Olivia R.McKinsey Associate · Booth“I'd done 30 cases with friends and felt stuck. One session with Arav and I knew exactly what was missing in my structure.”
Daniel K.Deloitte S&O, Final Round (MBB pending) · Stanford GSB“He treats every mock like the real thing. By round 2 of recruiting, the actual interviews felt easier than our practice ones.”
Sofia A.Oliver Wyman, Incoming · Tuck“What I liked most: he doesn't sell you a generic framework book. The advice is tailored to how you actually think.”
Jordan L.L.E.K. Consulting Associate · Yale SOM
FAQ
Questions,
honestly answered.
Don't see yours? Reply to the welcome email and I'll answer within a day.
Who is this for?
Undergraduates, MBAs, and experienced hires recruiting for MBB and tier-2 consulting firms. If you have a first-round in the next 90 days, you should be working with someone like me.
How is CaseFrame different from a casebook or a course?
Casebooks teach you frameworks. Courses teach you concepts. CaseFrame teaches you to perform — under time, under pressure, in front of a real interviewer. Every drill ends in a graded mock.
Do you guarantee an offer?
No one ethical does. What I guarantee: a clear, honest read on whether you're tracking, and the exact drills to close any gap. 94% of candidates who finish the full program get at least one tier-1 or tier-2 offer.
What does a typical week look like?
Two live mocks, two short drills (charts + math), one PEI session every other week, and async written feedback on anything you submit. Most candidates spend 6–8 hours per week.
