What Can I bring to the MIT Sloan Community?

 Play an active role in the Sloan Follies which will also give me an opportunity to showcase my
dance skills
 Start a MIT Sloan Chess Club as it will foster a healthy competition among my classmates
 Chess has helped me to think strategically and foresee consequences
 This has piqued my interest in Game Theory. I look forward to discussing more about it
with Prof. Andreas Schulz
 This will enable me to analyze risk and reward and forecast all possible scenarios for
startups as part of the Entrepreneurship Lab
 Offer a global and diverse perspective. Learn more about other cultures and further bond with
my classmates during Spring Trips and Action Learning Labs
 An innovative and intellectually curios mindset which will help me ask questions, challenge
assumptions and delve deep into solving problems
 Bring strong quantitative skills which I will use to help my classmates develop their analytical
