What is your advice for a prospective SOMer?
Come with an open mind — for your career, your friendships, for everything. I had no idea what a search fund was before arriving at SOM. I've made close friends I never would’ve crossed paths with if I’d stayed in the military. This experience isn’t just about professional growth — it’s an investment in the richness of your life.
