Major: Economics
Hometown: Monsey, NY
High school: Ohr Reuven
Yeshiva: Medrash Shmuel, Israel
Future career: Lawyer. Beginning Columbia Law School in the fall.
Why law? I believe I possess the skills that can contribute towards a successful career in the legal field, such as strong analytical skills and the ability to reason and think critically.
Why LAS? I was looking for a small school where I would be able to develop personal connections with the professors and members of the advisement and faculty. I have been able to work closely under renowned economists who give me personal attention and guidance.
How I balance: Here, I don’t feel like I’m just another student in a college. My close relationships with many of the professors has made my undergraduate experience extremely enjoyable, and I’ve learned so much from my professors—not just in matters pertaining to class discussions, but also from all the personal guidance they’ve provided me in terms of my future.
