The end of summer session

So summer session is finally over! It was a really busy last week. As I mentioned previously I signed up for a Harvard vs MIT case competition and got randomly selected. Adding that to my workload right when everything was due was a bit overwhelming. I didn't get a chance to study as much for my stats test as I would have liked. Anyway about the case competition. First of all I will definitely do it again. Secondly if I get selected again I think I could win. Here are the things I learned..
1. The key is to have a good presentation. The content matters but not as much as the presentation.
2. Our team spent hours researching the topic, you really don't need all that time. You should be able to finish it all in about 20 hours.
3. You do not get to pick your team....so be prepared for that! Not everyone at MIT are like your fellow LGOs :)
4. The consultants are great! very helpful and they wont tear you apart when you present to them.

I am still deciding on my fall classes. Hmmm....more to come
