Case competitions during the MSIS program truly shaped my professional skills. Working closely with teammates to solve real-world problems taught me the importance of collaboration and quick thinking. These skills have not only boosted my confidence in job interviews but also continue to guide my decisions in my current role. It was an enriching and exhilarating experience

Case competitions were incredibly enriching during the MSIS program. They taught us how to navigate ambiguity and develop essential teamwork skills. While solving business problems was exciting, the journey to finding solutions was even more thrilling. It really pushes you to refine your thinking and approach problems logically. It's also a fantastic opportunity to learn from peers!

Participating in case competitions has been a game-changer for me. When I first joined the MSIS program, I had no experience with case competitions. But in my very first week, I participated in EY case competition as part of the program. My team won the third place, but the experience that really stuck with me was how I was not able to answer any questions the judges posed to my team after our presentation. That experience motivated me to improve, and I went on to participate in numerous case competitions, winning an international case competition and being finalist at a national case competition. Case competitions have sharpened my problem-solving skills and helped me gain confidence in presenting and discussing my analysis. As a cybersecurity and privacy consultant at Grant Thornton, I analyse different business problems and present their solutions to clients on a daily basis. My case competition experience has translated directly to being able to do well at work.

Participating in case competitions at Kelley School of Business – MSIS program was a transformative experience for me. These competitions honed my problem-solving skills, teaching me to approach challenges with a structured and comprehensive mindset.

Every day, I apply the methodologies I learned at Kelley to help clients navigate complex issues effectively. The emphasis consulting firms place on case competition prowess during their hiring process is a testament to the real-world applicability of these skills. It's clear that excelling in case competitions is closely linked to outstanding performance in the consulting field.

I am confident that Kelley MSIS is one of the best programs out there for preparing students to succeed in case interviews and, by extension, in their consulting careers.
