This past summer, I had the privilege of working at JPMorgan Chase & Co. as a Summer Associate for their Chase Associate Program (also known as CAP). CAP is JPMC’s leadership rotational program for MBA candidates and graduates. JPMC directly recruits Fisher MBA candidates, with recruitments starting as early as September. This summer, we had six Fisher MBA candidates working at the JPMC Polaris office in Columbus, Ohio. It definitely made the experience extra special knowing that I had friends to go through the summer with.

I was positively anxious in the days leading up to MBA orientation. College was just such a huge pile of unknowns. I don’t think I was alone in being worried about starting college — it’s a big deal! Everyone knows that, which is why everyone and their uncle’s friend's veterinarian’s cousin has advice for people who are about to start college. I received countless bits of wisdom regarding starting college on the right foot, but I guess only experience can tell you what to do.

The anticipation is finally over and here we are. The moment that I have waited for is here and it’s nothing short of a dream. I still remember how elated I was when I first got my admission letter and after what seemed like eons, we all arrived in Columbus, Ohio with a heart full of aspirations and needless to say that the college experience is exactly what I had hoped for and more! 

Starting any new venture can be daunting.  Thankfully, the Fisher College of Business hosted an immersive orientation for the MHRM program that successfully introduced me to my classmates, launched me into the internship recruiting process, and helped me to better understand what the next few semesters will look like.  

Hi everyone! My name is Claire Hinkle, and I am just now starting my fourth week in the SMF Program at Fisher. In the first three weeks, I have taken a final, met with alumni, had several case discussions, completed a workshop with our Career Management Counselor, and am now beginning to ramp things up in the First Session Core Classes. So, while the undergraduate students have just finished syllabus week, we in the SMF program already feel at home here at Fisher. However, I realize that just a few weeks ago I was nervous to start the SMF program.

Hi, future Buckeyes. My name is Qingyuan Dong, and I am currently both a student and graduate ambassador of the Master of Accounting program at the Fisher College of Business. I grew up in Shanghai China before I came to THE Ohio State University. I graduated from Fisher with my BSBA degree in Finance, Marketing, and Economics and with Honors in Business Administration in May 2022. In addition to the world-class academic experience, I have also joined many student organizations and formed many meaningful relationships with both my professors and peers.

As summer started coming to an end, my email inbox started getting full of emails from all different departments at Ohio State. This made me feel anxious and a little overwhelmed but also very excited. I could not believe that after all the hard work that went into my application, the essays, the admission exams, and the interviews I was finally going to start my journey at Fisher College of Business.

As I enter my final weeks of the SMF program I wanted to look back and share some of the things I have learned this year.

As the semester is coming to an end, the MHRM graduating students are looking back on their time in the program and have some advice to give!
