I chose Simon because I wanted to develop an analytical mindset. The diverse student population that the school promoted was also a major draw for me.
Simon has a really tight linkage between students and alumni. Even before I enrolled, I got the chance to communicate with several excellent alumni who gave me insightful and practical advice for my career goals.
