Explore a partnership

06. Meet top candidates

Turn strong work into a meaningful conversation with the firm.

The strongest participants may be invited to present their work and discuss their approach directly with professionals from the partner firm.

This final interaction allows the company to understand the person behind the submission, ask questions about their reasoning and begin building an early relationship with promising students.

For students, the presentation is an opportunity they have earned through the quality of their work—not simply through a résumé, personal connection or prior access.

The format can be adapted to the firm’s availability, but typically includes a short presentation followed by questions and informal discussion.
