As a recent Ivey Business School graduate, I worked hard to achieve my 3.8/4 GPA academic standing. The ultimate goal, high academic standing, was an important consideration in my desire to contribute, my knowledge and personal attributes, to mainstream business. While at Ivey, I was active in various extracurricular activities, typically in a leadership role, contributing to the community or growing my practical business skills. The internship at Gluskin Sheff is one example.
