In terms of academics, Simon is evidently one of the best marketing analytics programs in the market. Additionally, its STEM designation made it a very attractive program. However, that was just a part of it; Simon is the place where I believe I can holistically develop as a professional and improve my networking and leadership skills. After attending the U of R for four years, Rochester feels close to home, and continuing my education as a part of the Simon community was without a doubt the best choice for me.

Although I've had no full-time work experience as a fresh graduate, I have pursued summer internships throughout my undergraduate experience in fields such as education-travel, wealth management, and healthcare operations. These diverse experiences have allowed me to understand the interdisciplinary nature of various fields—an ability that will benefit my future career as a management consultant.

I chose Simon because of its sheer strength in the finance program, its alumni network, and the attention it puts towards international students. Not only is the MS in Finance a top-ranked program, but Simon sends a great amount of its finance alumni to New York City (where I want to be!). Additionally, as an international student, having guidance in terms of recruiting and networking is critical—the Benet Career Management Center does a great job at that.

Rochester is the perfect-sized city, and it is small enough to be a 15-20 minute drive from most places you'd need to get to, but big enough to have many distinct neighborhoods and public gathering areas. Outside of the city, there are fun things one hour in every direction, especially if you enjoy the outdoors.
