Kenny Bourgon: The reason I applied to Booth when I did was that I was at a turning point in my career where I felt like I needed a little boost from the outside.
Sina Malekian: The part-time MBA was, I think perfect for me. I had just made a shift in career paths.
Christina Starks: You're gonna get a world-class education with world-class professors. You'll be able to design the curriculum based on what your needs are and you have a network of Boothies that are there for you.
Fabi Sanzi: I'm really proud of my experience because I feel like I really tried to use all the resources that were available. I was in the marketing club co-chair, I TA'd class. I took the lab classes.
Kenny Bourgon: I was hoping that after I graduated from Booth that I would get a job that would pay more. I actually ended up getting a new job in my third quarter at Booth, and I would say that alone was a return on investment.
Sina Malekian: An MBA, I think, is 100% worth the investment. There's no shot I would've gotten the job opportunities that I've had. There's no shot I would've succeeded as much as I have in my current positions.
Christina Starks: This isn't just a couple of years spent and then, you know check that box and you know, move on with life. This is now a part of who I am.
