Riccardo

My name is Riccardo, and I'm Italian. I started at Bocconi University, completing my bachelor's in international economics and management. I started being attracted to business analytics during my bachelor's and through my internship experience during the summer. Eventually, I decided to apply to MIT, and fortunately, I got accepted.

For my master's, there are several reasons in general. I'm very interested in this subject and fascinated by its potential application as a general-purpose technology. The career that I want to pursue is mostly in management and having expertise in business analytics is crucial. I wanted to acquire this expertise in a structured way by getting this degree.

Of course, I decided to pick MIT because it was the best program from many points of view. It has a fantastic reputation as an engineering and business school. Also, it has excellent facets with many applied components, so we get to put analytics into practise every day in real-life situations with several courses.

One should look at the profile to identify the strength and weaknesses correctly. I recognized my main strength as gaining a spot in the class to get a good GMAT score as my profile was not that quantitative. I wanted to show that I'm capable of handling the technical coursework with an excellent standardized test that does say something about your quantitive ability in some sense. I decided to prepare extensively for the GMAT—the most demanding and essential part.

He was supportive throughout the process, and it was a positive experience for me. I tried to get as much information as possible, the sources, etc. It was great working with him, and I would highly recommend taking help from professionals like Dr Hubert as it's a significant investment for your career ahead

Thank you for your time Riccardo, it was nice to have this session with you!
