Why did you choose to attend Chicago Booth? After visiting all the schools I applied to, besides the fact Booth was the best on the surface of things, I felt the best fit and connection to Booth. I really liked the people and I was very impressed by the amount of effort the school put into Admit Weekend and the level of involvement all the students showed. I actually gave up a scholarship from another university in order to attend Booth, because I was so highly impressed.

Why did you choose to attend Chicago Booth? From the professional point of view for the last 4 years I have being providing IT and Accounting consulting services at Ernst & Young Israel. I really enjoyed the work of a consultant but I felt that I needed to expand and develop my skill set and get an exposure to different industries that I wasn't exposed to up until this point. In addition as an Israeli who never lived outside of Israel I really wanted to get the international perspective that I needed in order to become a well-rounded consultant. The flexible curriculum that Chicago Booth offers is the perfect environment for me to develop myself professionally without spending precious time on things that I already did in the past. I knew that the Booth brand combined with the best career services in the industry would allow me to apply to the top consulting firms in the world. From a personal point of view I was looking for a change in my life. I really wanted to explore a new territory and get to know people from all over the world who share the same desires and aspirations as mine. I heard so many fun and exciting stories from Booth students both Israeli and international and I decided that it was the right place for me.
