Wharton Real Estate Internal Case Competition
We are participating with MBA club in an internal case competition. The case will be distributed Tuesday evening with PowerPoint presentations due Thursday night. Presentations will be given Friday morning and the winner selected just before a catered lunch for the judges and participants. The purpose of the internal competition is to provide experience for the club members, better prepare students for external competitions, and provide winning students for another way to distinguish themselves for classmates. This is the first time we are doing an internal competition but hope it is successful and will become an annual event. Teams will be comprised of 3-4 people.
