“I loved my Managing Ourselves experience. I’d attend again, but I can’t because I got a summer internship with a food distribution company [in London]. When I interviewed the recruiter loved the idea of Managing Ourselves; he asked me a lot of questions about it and I think, ultimately, it helped me get the spot. I also wrote about Managing Ourselves for one of my common app college essays. I’ll get the word out and will be more than happy to share my fantastic experience.” - Scott, 2011 MO graduate
What Our Alumni Have To Say
“I wrote about MO in my college applications and explained how it pushed me to new limits. It helped me further prove that I can work well with others, that I possess the ability to work under pressure, and that I can get things done. I think it really helped me stand out among the rest of the applicants."
