Frequently Asked Questions



   Do we have to apply in teams?


No. Students can apply individually and we will sort you into teams with other individuals. However, we do not guarantee all individual candidates will be sorted as it depends on the pool of applicants we receive. All presentations will be judged in teams comprised of 2-4 members.



   Can students from universities outside of University of Toronto apply?


Definitely! We welcome students from any degree, any year of study and any educational institutions.



   Do my team members all have to be from the same university?


No, but please make sure to write down each individual’s respective educational institution on the registration page in the additional informations session.



   What resources do I have to prepare for this case competition?


We recommend reading Case in Point, talking with established consultants, or simply brushing up on your business acumen. The most important thing is to have a clear logical breakdown of the problem, solution and recommendation. We also recommend creative solutions for extra points!



   Am I supposed to pay when I register?


No, we will prompt the applicants once they have been selected after the preliminary screening.
