Please see below resources to prepare your application:
Case Interview Preparation: Case interviews are very commonly used in the interview process for consulting firms. In the case interview, you will typically be given a business problem and then asked to solve it in a structured way. Learning this structure takes preparation and practice. Here is a case preparation guide!
Mock Case Interviews: You can schedule a mock case interview with Karen Dankers or Kathy Spillane
