What is your advice for a prospective SOMer?
Be confident! You've got this! When I was applying, I worried my background might hold me back. I had never worked at a big, well-known company and had just left a job due to a layoff. Talking to the prospective students, I realized many others had similar doubts. But what matters most is how you tell your story and showcase what makes you unique. Don't let those insecurities stop you, you belong here.
