Why I chose Smith: The main factors that convinced me to attend were the warm and welcoming community, top notch faculty, and the experiences of current and former students with whom I had spoken. Smith has a student body filled with highly intelligent, open-minded, and competitive students. Yet, the community comes first and an environment of collaboration is present throughout the school.

My advice to future Smith MBA Candidates: The Smith MBA program has a student body composed of highly intelligent, open-minded and competitive students. Yet, the community comes before the competition. To be a successful member of the next class of MBA students, you should come prepared to Smith with clear career goals and having done your research on both Smith and your profession.
