Stock Pitch vs Traditional Interview

Hi! I recently got an interview to my universities investment group. I have the option to present a stock to the exec board (around 5 mins long) or to complete a traditional interview. As a freshman with no real valuation or pitch experience I’m wondering if it is worth creating a pitch to help stand out. Or because i am confident in my basic technicals and behavioral that I just participate in a normal interview. Any advice??

It’s always better to go that extra mile and stand out! If you have strong techs, as long as your pitch is decent it will do nothing more than add. Things are extremely competitive now and you should always try to go that extra mile
