Point72 Case Study - what it takes

Hey guys,

I’m calling on previous candidates who passed the case study for p72, whether experience academy or internship.

How did you go about approaching the model? What do you think you did in your model that stood out from others and eventually help you proceed to the next stage? This stage seems like the stage where a lot of people get rejected.

Looking for some advise here!
