This session will build upon some of the core concepts discussed during the case interviewing 101 session from last semester. While previous attendance in the 101 session will be helpful, it is not required. A particular focus of this session will be on the importance of designing MECE (Mutually Exclusive Collectively Exhaustive) structures.
