What is your advice for a prospective SOMer?
SOM is your oyster, you can make so much out of your experience. You can try and explore things you didn't even know existed. Whether its traveling to a new continent, being friends from someone from a country you have never been to, meeting an executive in an industry you never explored etc. At SOM you have a chance to charter your own path/experience, you will have endless options to explore. You will learn to prioritize as you go on and you will learn not only about the world/business, but about yourself as well.
