Major chunk of 'it' is over!
After braving 2 grueling weeks (Microsoft Case Comp - people did win XBox'es!!, McKinsey Case Comp - this was about elegance and 'class', and of course - every significant event packed right into any breathing time that you thought you could get - slept for an hour or two on most days) , it's finally time to get that well deserved sleep, and get back to focusing on the extremely neglected classes.
Term 1 almost felt like a breeze. It's still on, but exams are here like in two weeks. And there's almost no time yet again to read through and practice everything. But I am not complaining - all I'm saying is, it's now or never!
I got to admit, case comps ('it') were super fun and exciting experiences. Working with different groups of people, is what I value most. Case comps to me were more about extracting those diverse experiences and insights - how do individuals from different backgrounds think about and approach a given problem - I must admit - it was phenomenal to go through that process. More than what you learn from your peers in class, you learn via case comps in those action packed weeks.
If you do get to come to Rotman, be ready for some amazing fun times - the delight of those late night pizzas when all you had in the day was a cup of coffee, those discussions about - this idea definitely does not feel right; this is not the right data to back up the hypothesis, use all those time crunched hours to discuss about every other aspect of life that you shouldn't be discussing about, but you only end up doing because you have so had it with the process of creating that 'beautiful deck'. It's worth every second. Whether you win or not, it will still make you a better 'Consultant'! It's all about that experience.
Good luck to my class and good luck to all you guys out there, who look forward to coming to Rotman!
