Throughout the MBA application journey, I had a chance to connect with multiple members of HABSA, which allowed me to get a good sense for how supportive and inclusive the community would be. They were more than happy to connect me with other Boothies, give me tips, and even helped me prepare for my Booth interview once I received the invitation. I knew that by joining HABSA I would be surrounded by people who would be excited to help me during my time at Booth.
Furthermore, Hispanic Americans, although a growing minority in the US, still remain a heavily underrepresented group in higher education and business leadership. It was important that I not only join the group but become a leader so that I could help others with backgrounds like mine bridge that gap.
Why was joining the Hispanic American Business Student Association important to you?
