"Ooh.... That's the big one!" Thanks to the amazing Craig Ferguson, that was my first impression of Northwestern. His interview with Northwestern alumnus Meghan Markle didn't just make me chuckle multiple times, it oddly introduced me to the university where I would love to spend the next four years of my life.
I started learning about its economics department and quickly realized how unique it is because of its balance between practical courses such as 'Business Strategy' and theoretical courses such as 'History of Economic Thought' and the opportunity to take a lot of these courses because of the quarter system. I proudly call myself an econ nerd and see myself in the consulting field after graduation. The minor in Business Institutions is an amazing way to complement these courses and develop the necessary skills to succeed in that field, from writing and speaking in business to rational decision making.
What convinced me, even more, is the fact that I will be able to apply that knowledge in the CASE consulting group to impact the community, but also through the Chicago Field Trips. The combination of classes and internships in consulting allows me to pursue both academic and career aspirations in the wonderful city of Chicago.
From admiring the art in the Block museum to a relaxing afternoon on the student beach or an exciting soccer game with fellow wildcats, there will be enough opportunities for me to take a break from the hard work. Spending time with other students and being exposed to all the different perspectives is something I will definitely enjoy.
Besides the fact that Northwestern complements my professional goals and academic interests completely by its courses and internship opportunities, it is a community in which I see myself growing intellectually and socially. Go Wildcats!
