What surprised you the most about being an MBA student?
I was genuinely surprised by how close our cohort is (bl-bl-bl-blue!), and how excited we all are to see each other around Evans, at Gryphon's, Boosters, and down Orange Street. Initially, I was sure the influx of happy birthdays in our cohort group chat - imagine the frequency when you have 70 people in the group - would die down, but the fact that we collectively celebrate each other's birthdays, life/recruiting wins, etc. is really what has made the culture of SOM so special!
