Harvard Student Agencies Case Competition

About the Event

The cheapest components in Apple’s devices - storage and RAM - have suddenly become the most expensive. Should they raise prices and add value, quietly cut hardware quality to save margins, or absorb the cost to keep users locked in the ecosystem? The Harvard Student Agencies Case Competition (HSACC) calls on high schoolers globally to solve this live business case. Format: Virtual (no teams required) Eligibility: Any student enrolled in high school as of Dec 31, anywhere in the world. Deliverable: 10-slide deck by Oct 31 (shortlisted students will also pitch on video) Judges: A panel representing McKinsey, VC-backed startups, Harvard, and Stanford Cost: $5 until Aug 31 | $10 until Sept 30 | $15 until Oct 17 You don't need to know how to read a financial statement to compete. The HSACC provides three free prep workshops to teach you the fundamentals. Ready to build a strategy you can actually talk about in your next college or internship interview?

Prizes & Awards

🏆 Six awards totalling over $13,600 in cash and Ladder Internships scholarships. Every student who submits receives a certificate.
