    Mike is one of the best learning teammates that an MBA student could ask for. He's funny, bright, and can help you see the big picture. It's no wonder he secured a full-time offer to join the Boston Consulting Group after graduating from Darden.

    21 - Rachel - Anderson

    Rachel cares deeply about making others feel included. That's why she started a storytelling business about celebrating diversity, that's why she decided to intern in Deloitte's Human Capital practice this summer, and that's why she spoke up during her first week at UCLA Anderson when she felt like something was wrong.
