Why did you chose the UW MBA Consortium? I chose the UW MBA Consortium because of its reputation as one of the best online MBA programs in the country. I was impressed with the timely response and attention to my MBA application and the opportunity to speak with a Consortium professor during my interview. The curriculum with a healthcare emphasis and the opportunity to pursue data analysis made the program even more appealing. I was accepted into 5/5 MBA programs and the UW MBA Consortium stood out as the best. This program has far exceeded my expectations and I am proud to be a student here.
What has been the best part of your experience thus far? The confidence I have built in myself to lead a team, department, and organization. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning how to present detailed reports and analyze information to make decisions. I have felt connected to every professor. I can tell they truly love what they do and they care about their students’ success in the program.
What advice do you have for prospective and/or new students? Soak up every minute of the program because it will go by very fast. Each class builds on the next so it is important to keep organized and save all of your assignments to reference back to. Get involved in student committees because the Consortium cares about student feedback and change can only happen when you use your voice.
Please share a fun fact about yourself: I love making people laugh and telling jokes.
