At school? Just about every finance or MBA program that is semi-decent nowadays is having students practice valuation using either cooked or historical CIMs.
Nothing special man. 30-50 pages, charts, decent overview of the business and industry. I wouldn't be rushing to do tedious work, you will be doing it soon enough.
God why oh why would you want to read through IMs for pleasure.
Wow, I seriously wish I had known to prepare like this when still a student. Great work ethic, keep up the good work.
That having been said, it's summer and provided you start working when you graduate, you won't see the light of day for years: go to the beach before the Matrix gets you
