Hi, everyone.My name is Harroopand I am an MBA candidateat Ivey Business Schoolat Western University here in London, Ontario.Now just a little bit about myself.I was born and raised in Mississauga, Ontario.I completed my undergraduate degreeat the University of Toronto10doing a double major in11biology and environmental science.12Prior to starting my MBA here at Ivey,13I was a financial advisor at TD.14Now in my spare time,15I enjoy staying active and working out,16watching and playing sports,17and also just casually18hanging out with friends.19Why did I choose to come20to Ivey Business School21specifically to pursue an MBA?22Well, my decision was informed23by two main drivers.24The first would be the school's reputation25and the second would be26the case method learning style.27Starting with the school's reputation,28Ivey Business School consistently29ranks amongst the best business schools30in all of Canada,31and the MBA program32is also highly ranked in the country.33Applying to the school34was a no brainer for me35due to its prestigious reputation.36Next, the case method learning style.37This is something that's quite unique here38at Ivey in that the in-classroom component39is 100% case-based.40Whereas in a typical business school,41you would definitely be working through cases.42However,43your in-classroom component would be split44between cases45and the traditional lecture format.46Whereas here at Ivey,47it's 100% case-based,48and I was really drawn to that49because case-based learning50really fosters your critical thinking skills,51teamwork skills, and analytical skills.52You're working through53real-world business problems54on a daily basis,55which ultimately leaves you56better prepared to enter the workforce57when you graduate.
