Why did you choose to attend Chicago Booth? Attending business school was an important decision I took a year ago. I had the opportunity to work at Deloitte and Motorola and really hone my accounting and operational skill set. I had exposure to various transactions that either my clients or the company I was working for had undergone (IPOs, and spin-offs to name a few). I even had the wonderful opportunity to work on some of these transactions from an accounting or operational standpoint, but I really wanted to get exposure to the management rationale and strategy behind these decisions and advise management on whether these decisions would be suitable for their companies. I realized that I would need to build a strong finance skill set as well. This is the reason I came to Booth, a school renowned for its finance curriculum. Additionally, the flexible curriculum was another attractive feature for me. Having worked and lived in Chicago previously, I had the opportunity to interact with students and professors and that made it more clear that Chicago Booth is a place where ideas compete and discussions are valued. And that was really an experience I was looking for.
What do you consider a "must visit" place in Chicago? You must go for an early morning jog by Lakeshore Drive - it really makes you appreciate a beautiful city. Be sure to visit Gino's East - my favorite Chicago style pizza. Be prepared to have just one meal (i.e. pizza) that day!
