Why did you choose McCourt? I really wanted to be in Washington, D.C. with a diverse school community and get an education that emphasized quantitative knowledge.

What professional/ work experience did you have prior to coming to McCourt? I'm coming straight from undergrad but have interned both in the management consulting and nonprofit spaces.

What has been the best part of your experience so far? The people are the best part. The professors are genuinely interested in learning about their students and finding ways to help them. My classmates are also incredibly cool, interesting, and caring people. They care deeply about changing the world and they make coming to school even more fun.
