Not sure yet, so I guess the surprise is what makes it fun.

But I think it involves a group of students reading a case study 1 week before the presentation and trying to figure out a strategy of some sought to help company XXX do a shifty attack on company YYY. What could be more fun than that? I mean it's group work, power point presentation, and finance. :p

I don't think I'll be doing it. I did the JPMorgan IB Comp last semeester, and while it was fun; I simply don't have the spare time this time round. And be prepared to be 'pwned' you will get grilled badly (asked hard questions) by the 'real' investment bankers. I still have last years case study and our presentation on CD!

I spent one week learning one whole subject (Applied Corporate Finance FINS3625). The fun bit is the pressure and group work. The JPMorgan IB Comp involved a case study for an M&A - we needed to valuations etc, debt financing etc. It's also a great way to practice your presentaiton skills, so if you have time, enter the comp!!

when are the results announced?
Kevin, they already are. Ask your group leader to forward you any correspondence. Group leader = whoevers email was at the top on the application

Anyways, we got pwned good, lack of proper preparation but got what we wanted, a "learning experience" :)

kudos to any teams thru to the next round!
