Rongdong Chen, MSM Class of 2025

"I aim to pursue a career in strategic consulting and eventually start my own consulting firm. I chose Carnegie Mellon because its curriculum is quant-based and gives me the tools to analyze and understand a business from multiple angles, like operations management, corporate strategy, and marketing.

I was greatly surprised by how supportive the program and faculty at Carnegie Mellon Tepper School are. A great example is the BaseCamp program, which starts in the summer and helps students get ready for courses, adjust to the program, and even plan for their careers. It’s clear that the school truly cares about setting students up for success from day one."
