On Coming to Zicklin…
"The Full-Time Honors Program is a top 20 school in the making. It was obvious that the school was pouring tons of resources into building the program; and the school had tons of resources to do that with. It’s unique value proposition was just too good to pass up: in New York City, with thousands and thousands of alumni all over the globe, first rate facilities, low tuition, prestigious faculty, and small class sizes."
Advice to Incoming Students…
"Go out and take some risks and learn as you go. As the saying goes, 'Fail, and fail often. And learn something valuable every time you do.'"
On Zicklin’s Curriculum…
"I think that what appeals most to me about Zicklin’s curriculum is the variety. The Honors program is a very small group, but thanks to the Flex-Time program we have dozens of electives to choose from. I just wish that I could quadruple major."
On Zicklin students…
"The student body here is really incredible. My classmates are very intelligent, very worldly, and very knowledgeable. They bring rich and diverse perspectives to class, and we debate and discuss everything, both in and out of the classroom. Underneath all of the academics, there is a real sense of unity among my class. We have all gotten to know each other very, very well; and there is a very deep respect and caring that we all have for one another. Quite sincerely, I LOVE my class."
On Zicklin Full-Time Honors Students…
"The Honors Program has a really incredible sense of community. They are your family. There is never a shortage of interesting conversations going on, from market analysis, to philosophical debate, to arguments over which management theory is best. Its just a fun, exciting, invigorating atmosphere."
