Looking back on your experience, what advice would you give to future business school applicants? Use an Excel sheet to stay organized during the application process. Create a tab for each school, and make a checklist of all application requirements, important dates (example: preview weekends or networking events), and contact information. Keeping all of this information in one place helped ensure I met all deadlines and made the overall process more manageable. What led you to choose this program for your full-time MBA? I was initially attracted to Mendoza because of the small class size. When I visited the campus, I could see how this created a strong bond between classmates. Everyone had so much school spirit and was genuinely proud to say they attended the University of Notre Dame. This school spirit makes the alumni network one of the strongest in the world. I’m so excited to be part of this Notre Dame family. Tell us about your dream job or dream employer at this point in your life? My dream job title would be Director of Analytics for a MLB or NBA team. It would allow me to combine my passion for quantitative data analysis and professional sports. What would you like your business school peers to say about you after you graduate from this program? After I graduate, I would like my peers to say that I was always helpful and always had a positive attitude. I would like to be remembered as someone who made a positive impact on my peers and the Notre Dame community. Previous Page Continue ReadingPage 6 of 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
