I came to the Full-time MBA at Smith School of Business because ...

of its team-based learning approach, curriculum design, and one-year duration.

After working in the consumer healthcare industry for over five years, I became interested in exploring various roles in strategy consulting and general management. Based on thorough research and numerous conversations with alumni, I knew that Smith was the place for me. This decision was further validated during my campus tour, where I was particularly impressed by the warmth and kindness with which I was welcomed. The program administration team and faculty were also highly supportive and encouraging throughout my application process. I am confident that Smith’s holistic development coaching programs and rich network will help me seize future opportunities post-MBA.

If I could go back a year, the piece of advice that I would give myself is to enjoy the application process thoroughly. Take the time to reflect on your experiences and decisions before your MBA journey and appreciate their impact on you. Embrace your uniqueness and share it with pride.

I intend to make the most of my MBA experience by building valuable relationships, realizing my true potential, and finding joy in everything I do.
