“Why I chose Emory…”:
“I chose Emory for its proximity to a city with incredible growth, astounding diversity of MBA candidates from all over the world with backgrounds in all kinds of industries; opportunity to engage in activities that matter to me; and the ability to work with teams who could expose me to new things with unwavering support. I love growing with my classmates. I had also visited Emory on a recruiting trip as an undergraduate, and fell in love with the people, professional feel and southern charm of the curriculum and the people I met. As a 17-year old, I never dreamed I would get the opportunity to come back and compete on the same runway tucked behind the hedges on the track.”
