I was unsure of what I wanted to study until the end of my sophomore year of undergrad but was interested in business administration and accounting. I spoke with my advisor and decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in finance and apply to the MS in Accountancy through the 4+1 option. Having worked at Simon and taken classes with faculty, I was aware of the quality of education, school community, job search process, and networking opportunities. I knew Simon was where I belonged, and I'm happy to say I have had an amazing experience.
