It was such an exciting program and I felt that I gained skills I would never have got in school. I do think that by doing this I have a much clearer understanding of what I want to do in the future.

Big 4 Program Alumni
I would do this (work experience program) whether I was sure of law or not..I genuinely had so much fun, and the case study was just so interesting! Analyzing a hypothetical, real-like case was so interesting. I would recommend it.
Matteo G.
Dentons Program Alumni
I learned to learn in this process. I had to read and research, and I believe in the university there will be a lot more harder concepts so it definitely helps.
Audrey P.
Ferrari Program Alumni
Overall it’s been very good, I learned a lot about consulting. It was really fun to work in a group to find different kinds of solutions and do research.
Jessie Z.
Big 4 Program Alumni
It’s a starting guide or a starting point for people (students) who are interested in law. Because I recently chose law to pursue as my career, and this program helped me to understand it on a higher level.
Afa
Dentons Program Alumni
The seminars were well-ordered in their complexity and depth so everything is well sorted out until the end. It was a really interesting experience because we got to talk to higher executives from the company as high school students.
Vincent H.
Ferrari Program Alumni
Final pitch was the part I really enjoyed the most. It taught me how to create a proper business proposal. It was a really good process of researching and thinking. It really adds value to my life.
James L.
Big 4 Program Alumni
It’s been very productive. All the module sessions were really helpful to learn what consulting is, it helped me in my pre-college program in Columbia and it shows a direct translation from the program to real-life university experience.
William K.
Big 4 Program Alumni
This program gave me an introduction to engineering and gave me a good start to understand how it works. It exercises teamwork to complete a project which is quite similar to what it’d be like for an actual engineering job!
Caiden H.
Ferrari Program Alumni
To someone who’s unsure if they want to pursue law, this program can provide them a good guidance of whether they can see themselves being a lawyer.
Sourish R.
Dentons Program Alumni
I gained theoretical knowledge and a chance to apply them to real-life situations like building a car. It’s very useful because we don’t experience that in high school.
Tatiana K.
Ferrari Program Alumni
I was always interested in consulting and the Big 4 Consulting Firm program gave me an exceptional opportunity to kickstart my career in the field. Now consulting is a career that I definitely want to go down and I'm excited to continue pursuing it at Columbia!
