The Tepper School prepared me well for a transition from engineering to strategy consulting. In the intent of Andrew Carnegie, the school hits an optimal balance of technical rigor and leadership development. Classes like optimization deepened my analytical skills, while Acting for Business pushed me outside my comfort zone and strengthened my communication and presence.
