Before starting my MBA journey, I worked as a software architect at an investment bank in India. I chose the Smith MBA to bridge my gaps in business fundamentals and finance. The smaller class size and diverse student body promised a more intimate and collaborative learning environment, which greatly appealed to me.

Another aspect that stood out about the Smith MBA was the student-centric program structure, where various coaches support students in maximizing their experience throughout the year. The dedicated coaching teams are exceptional; they help you become a better leader and guide you through the challenges that lie ahead.

The Smith MBA provides a steep learning experience that is guaranteed to transform you for the better. Along the way, you’ll meet incredible and intelligent members of your cohort who will enrich your experience in the program.

Authenticity and thorough research are essential for prospective applicants. It’s important to articulate a strong rationale for pursuing an MBA and understand what distinguishes Smith from other programs. For international applicants, it is crucial to be mindful of application deadlines and to apply early to allow sufficient time for visa processing.

After completing my MBA, I aspire to transition into the tech industry as a project manager.
